clutch slipping

[chillyman0]

when the bike is cold it will slip when it reaches the top end of the revs and then catch and come back down again, doesnt slip when i pull away hard, just when i pin the revs round.

any idea what part of the clutch is going?
plates?
springs?

cheers
Aaron

my bike slips the same as you, not when cold just when the revs go round to 8/10 thousand slipps really bad then after the 10thou it bites down again..

but with out stripping the clutch down and checking and seeing whats worn out you wont really know..prob just the friction plates?????????

its when it produces the max horse/torque or some thing like that..happens all the time feels werid..

Assuming there's enough oil in the engine, and it's in good nick, most likely to be springs, although plates (wearing of the friction, warping of the steel) is possible, as is a loose clutch centre nut. Also worth checking the cable and actuator closely too.

First thing to do on any cable-operated clutch which is slipping is to check the cable. Un-hook both ends of the cable and if you can't push and pull it easily by just pinching with finger and thumb you need to service it or fit a new one.

Don't know which bike this is, but be wary of opening clutch if it's a hydraulic one rather than cable.
There's a caliper much like on brake disc which tends to get gunked up and reluctant to retract.

yeah it is hydraulic clutch but it will go away when its warmed up, makes me think the plates have passed it as the bite better when warm...

VFR750?

Take the clutch slave cylinder off the left side of the engine (3 allen head bolts). For some reason it has a paper gasket under it which doesn't go all the way round anyway so I wouldn't bother replacing it. Be careful not to pull the clutch lever while it's off.

Once it's off, you'll see the end of the clutch push-rod. Pull it out (it's about 10" long). You'll see that one end of it is all covered in rust and grot. Give it a good clean up with wire wool so it's clean and shiny again and reassemble. If it's very pitted, put it in the other way round.
