2nd Gear Clutch Issues

[JEEPRUSTY]

I had trouble once from trying to adjust the clutch.
I got it totally messed up and it was slipping.

I read the manual and everything worked fine after that.
Oh well.

sureeeeeeeee..

get up to about 30-35mph or so in high gear.
pull in clutch lever in and whack the throttle wide open and slam the lever out completely.
if your engine bogs badly then your clutch is fine and holding.
if your engine revs any at all(you will know) then the clutch is not holding.
a person can adjust any of these steps some what but i think everyone gets the idea of how this test works.
i mean you have to have some common sense when doing this if you know what i mean.
i have used this method from hayabusa's to 305 twins.
i used it yesterday on a guys ZX11 who said his clutch wasn't slipping..
he listened to his bike when i rode it and changed his mind at that point.

Sorry, ha. I didn't know you were trying to explain a method (just thought it was slow/steady or whatever your previous comment was). Ill give it a shot once it stops raining every single day. And ill post results. I appreciate you sharing the method, seems to be an easy test. You talking about doing it in highest gear (6th O/D) or a high gear (5th)? Just trying to clarify things.

5th is fine...around 30mph.
