Clutch going out?
I think my clutch is starting to go out. Seems as though its slipped a few times switching into 2nd gear on hard 1st gear pulls. Not sure yet, but just incase, is it a hard job to do yourself, and whats a good aftermarket clutch kit assuming they make one?

Nah havent checked Anything yet. Bike only has 10,000 miles so my clutch going out seemed unlikely but im thinking worst case at this point.

Re: Clutch going out?
check your oil level. check your cable adjustment on lever and case. check the cable condition and lubrication.
