    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

Hi everyone. Ive noticed that my bike just revs and doesn't quite catch the gears on a fast acceleration from 3rd gear and up.

If I slowly accelerate through the gears its fine.

Any ideas on what could be causing this? Worn out gear springs?

Big job? Anything I should look out for/be careful of? I do all my own work, not a mechanic but I get by. Lol

How many springs will I need 4? Ill need to look at my manual for part #s.
 
Be sure your clutch cable has some freeplay before you replace the clutch. If its too tight they'll slip.

However, if your luck is like mine, its not gonna be something that simple. lol

Yea, you need a little free play; there is a spec in the manual.
 
Check the steels for bluing or warpage and the service limits of the fibers when your in there

If the springs don't get it, then you'll know how to get in there to do fiber plates. Also, I have noticed that my 1000G will slip at WOT if the oil isn't hot. But let's not start an oil thread just yet. Springs or cable adjustment are most likely.
