Right last week my clutch started to slip when it was cold and its been getting ever worse it takes longer to stop it slipping, Now the question is do I trust it to get me to donnington

What do you think I aint got no money now for a clutch (((((anyone wanna lend me a bike for the weekend??))))))))

Have you got breakdown cover?

A new clutch should only be about £30 - £40 you know...

If you can't afford the clutch parts then you evidently can't afford to go to Donnington...... & as you can't afford to maintain the bike, why did you buy one?

My clutch has been slipping since I bought the bike last august (thanks to a certain someone wheelying the bike for the BCF vid) Anyway, it got me to france and back Wink

It only slips if I hit a catseye when giving it some throttle though.

It could be wheel spin I suppose, I had thought about that but always put it down to the clutch. On pull away the clutch is dodgy anyway it doesn't engage quick enough to wheely unless there is someone on the back seat Razz

I take it you have all checked the ADJUSTMENT of the clutch to make sure it is indeed fully engaged when the bar lever is out
