clutch adjusted and no power

[phatchopper300]

I adjusted the clutch just as described in the help thread. Was having hard shifting and hard to find neutral. That is all fixed but now when I put in first gear and crack the throttle engine revs with little power to pull the bike forward but very slowly it will shift into all gears but again no torque to pull bike forward. Any suggestions- I tried to adjust the clutch cable but still gets the same reaction. Any help would be appreach.

I went to the Bandit clutch. No sense messing with the stock one.

Sounds like you may have screwed the pushrod in to far and it's not engaging properly. Re-adjust it and try again. Do you have the manual? If not I can email the scanned pages to you.

Please and thank you. Can email to phatchopper300@msn.com. I backed the rod out 1/4 turn. Do you think 1/2 to 3/4 will do.

+3...sounds like slippage to me . It is a damn finicky adjustment, very easy to go too far either way. Not much of a window for the sweet spot. 1/4 turn too far on the cable will do the same thing.

Yea this is kool site. By the way i went to clarksville high school. It has been a few years back .

i found after a test ride it may still slip just a bit. If this happens go counter-clockwise 1/8 of a turn after the initial 1/4 turn and re-check. Hope this helps.
