I was out riding today, and everything was fine ill I went to accelerate at one point and I got a real growl from the clutch area, with no acceleration. so I checked it, and now Anytime it accelerates there is no torque there, If i slowed down to a stop and used the brake, i had to help push it to get it going so it didn't burn the belt, its not the engine, it revs up great and just makes the belt smoke. At 40+ mph or so it seemed to run ok, but it seemed to be working harder than it should have been.
I think the secondary clutch has f**ked up, but im not sure how to tell, I was thinking at first the spring had broke in it, but i'm not sure(its still hard to open by hand). It could also be the primary clutch, but it seems to be working fine. Any real way to test these? The sled has 10,000 miles, so a clutch rebuild is probably not outta the question(I didnt own it till 8000), i'd just rather not waste time doing both, what you think? 95 xlt 600 is the sled.
I drove it about 80 miles to get home, it was either that, or walk....
thanks
