High RPM but no power at full throttle

[Guest]

My bike is running and I noticed on the 150 miles I rode today that when I am in any gear and I twist the throttle all the way the rpms will go from 4-6k rpm which I'm cruising at to 8k rpm without actually speeding my bike up. It sounds awesome like its running right but not sure what the issue is, sounds like it would if I were to shift to neutral and twist.

Clutch slipping?

Sounds like you may have a slipping clutch there.

And the way to fix it is....

New springs and clutch plates.
At least, try to shim the springs if they are loose.

Any idea how much I'm looking at in price.

Better yet, how would I shim to springs to get more pressure? Washer size... etc

Hi,

A set of clutch springs are cheap, get OEM. Have a look on my website, in the clutch section, for an idea of what you need to do. Check a parts fiche picture to see where your clutch springs go.


Thank you for your indulgence,
