Well, still slipping. Dammit! Then, I look down at the back tire to see how much traction I am getting on launch and notice the rim SPINNING INSIDE THE TIRE!!! Lol, this was the problem the whole time. I am retarded, but now a master of the KDX clutch. It is amazing how the symptoms of a slipping clutch were so exactly replicated by the spinning rim, it spun alot at first, and as speed increased the rim would catch up with the tire and it would "feel" like it had finally engaged. :bang:
If you are talking about the old F11 I second that, although I did bust my collar bone on mine. Who woulda thought you could do that, it's not even far to fall :whoa:julien_d said:... I'm going to go back to working on the old '73 250. I miss having the old air-cooled bike as an option. It's extremely fun to ride too.
