Just got back from a very shot trip to WV, went up fridday night, rode for about 5 hours, then rode from 9am til 6 today, and came home. I was having some different troubles thoughout the day.

When I go to take off, i give it throttle and it doesnt move right off, has to rev for a second, then it goes. Also, when i get off the throttle clutches and belt seem to be dragging, almost like it has the engine brake, but it doesnt. Any thoughts?

 

sounds like your clutch is sticking and you should spray some grafite lube on the clutch to help it.The grafite lube is not oil based so it wont collect dirt and that is good on a clutch.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

[Words of Wisdom]-Dont get any lube on the belt or where the belt touches[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img](past experience)

I pulled the scondary and had a broken button, and some wear on the other two, i assume thats the problem.

I also noticed some cupping on my bed, like the outside flat part was cupped, is that right?

 

um i not sure what its supposted to look like but start it up and put it in forward and hold the brake and give it a little gas and see how the quick the clutch is engaging, it should start to go towards the belt at about 1/4 trottle. that will tell you if there is something wrong.
