I got the same feeling. At first I thought it was only in 2nd. After trying and checking, it's on all gears. But you don't apply often max power in 1rst (dangerous), 3rd or 4rth over 5000 rpm (forbidden speeds). An this is the real problem. Looking at the torque curve vs rpms, you see that you enter the max torque zone beetween 5000 and 7000 rpm. This is what makes your clutch slip.
Discussing with a professionnal, he asked me "what oil did you put in the bike, what API index" and I answered "such and such modern oil, API index SG". He said "change for an API index SE oil". It is Honda spec for this bike. I did it at next oil change and no clutch slip now. He said also, "it it keeps slipping, you will have to change the clutch discs, which can be worn, and if it keeps slipping with new discs, you will have to change the clutch springs, they can be old and have lost their strength." >On Aug 14, 1:23 pm, Dominick <[email protected]> wrote: > > I Feel a noticable slip when hitting 2nd hard.
