    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

ok so I'm cruising down the freeway.. about 70 mph in 5th.. and the engine revs up on it's own I back off the gas and then back on and things continue as if it's never happened.. this is the 3rd time in about 150 miles of riding..
So is it a time for a new clutch or is there perhaps some other potenial cause?

Thanks
Mitch
 
sounds like its slipping.... could just be as simple as adjusting it. I had some slippage years ago when I used Duralube... :oops:

Got fresh oil?

If you need a new one it really is not that daunting a task to replace. :wink:
 
mine did the same thing the other month on the freeway and I just reached forward and adjusted the cable at the lever in full flight. Running with a too tight cluch adjustment must be hard on the throw out bearing as it would be engaged at all times not just when you use the clutch.
 
What kind of oil do you use ?? Check the cable adjustment
 
as to oil I just put in Castrol GTX from the autoparts store.

sounds like I need to double check the adjustment and hope that fixes it.
I havent touched that yet so.. maybe thats it..

thanks for the input
