Message: [QUOTE="flounder, post: 1239126, member: 81139"] Well tore the clutch out and the plates have definatley been hot and the fiber ones are shot as well. Only a few small notches in the clutch basket and not enough to cause what is happening. I took the clutch out to MJ USA here in Columbus and they said I should get a new one but based on what is happening, the clutch should be working but not to its full potential. So I went home put the clutch back in and took the entire bike out to them. He messed with it in the parking lot for a few min and said, I hate to break it to you but you have tranny issues. Said it would be around 500-600 to get in and fix it if they did the work. I only paid 1800 for the bike so that was definitely not an option so I went home and started wrenching. Currently the engine is sitting in my basement. With all covers off, drive gears off, kickstarter out piston and cylinder removed, etc. Basically all I need to do is pull the stator off and split the case of which I will be stopping by harbor freight tonight to get a puller to remove the stator. Tomorrow I will be splitting the case and seeing what I can find. So far I haven’t found anything out of the ordinary. No metal shavings, no ground down teeth, nothing. So Its going to be like Christmas tomorrow, I will either get something I can fix or else you guys will be able to buy parts from me as I part out the SOB. Wish me luck, I will keep all posted. Also, I have been taking pics the entire time of the teardown process so I will post those soon. I appreciate all the feedback from you guys. Guys I just got one of those touchy ones. One thing I have noticed so far is that the crank seems to have just a bit too much play in it but I will have it measured once I split it open tomorrow. Cylinder and piston look fine though so maybe its not an issue. [/QUOTE]
