Hi all,
I just got my 2000 kdx 220 this past weekend and tried riding it today and I have severe clutch slip. To the point that I can't even ride it. Any significant throttle and the engine just revs and the bike doesn't really go any faster.
So, I know I need a service manual, I am ordering it tomorrow from the dealer, but does anyone know what is wrong? Is it just that the clutch is shot? I tried adjusting the cable, but even totally slack, the clutch doesn't really engage. Is there anything else I can try before buying a new clutch?
What do I need to replace? Just the plates? Springs? Should I just go ahead and get a heavy duty clutch like a Barnett? I took the clutch cover off and looked things over, nothing is obviously broken or anything like that. Any advice would be appreciated!
