    If the clutch friction discs are original they may have hardened over time making them prone to slipping. My 1150 had sat for 12 years before my buying it in 1999. Initially the clutch was stuck, but after freeing it up, it slipped. With all else (cables, adjustment, steels, etc) being ok, I replaced the friction discs and it's been good 29k miles since. The friction material on the originals was rock hard.

    When consulting the magic 8 ball for advice, one must first ask it "will your answers be accurate?"

      Easy to fix slippery clutch plates. Light wire brush from center too outside stroke, they will then bite.
