POSSIBLE CLUTCH PROBLEM

Post by porter92 »

When I initially start the bike it starts out smooth riding. After it warms up , from a dead stop it starts to lurch violently and then after it starts going the lurching stops. if i take a turn without having to stop it works fine as long as i am moving through the turn. But if i have to turn from a complete stop it lurches forward. I read the manual and it said a possible clutch weight spring or clutch lining problem. Perhaps someone on this board has experienced this problem before.

Yeah its your clutch or your drive belt. You will either have to rebuild your clutch or get a different one altogether. It may just be a worn belt as well. You will have to take belt cover off and determine that.
