Clutch slipping in every gear (HELP)

luke scott · May 24, 2019

I had similar a few months ago on my 2002 Adventure (29,000 miles). It turned out to be a loose screw in behind the hand protector (handguard) that was stopping the lever returning to the fully open position. It's not easily visible and it may be worth your while removing the handguard to check it. My saviour was Mark in Platinum Motorcycles who tightened the screw and didn't charge me for looking at the bike.

If I have the clutch replaced What is a fair price at a garage, I’m not sure I fancy doing it myself. I guess the labour is the most expensive part

Before you go to the lengths of a clutch replacement check inside the final drive to see if there’s bits of rubber visible. The bonding can go between the 2 sections of the driveshaft giving similar symptoms to the clutch failing. If it has gone there’s likely to be little bits of rubber flecks stuck to the inside of the housing.

He did my clutch last year; and he's spot on; just looking around his workshop will put a smile on yer face. :beerjug:
