:waving:Hello all and thanks for the tips I already got about my starter problem just by searching and reading. I think I've narrowed it down to the brushes? Slow cranking especially when hot.
Now, the problem with my clutch is, when I really get on the throttle hard, I have noticed the clutch slipping. I noticed this when I shifted into second gear going up a small incline and needed to get on it pretty hard due to surrounding traffic flow. I didn't notice the RPM but think it was in excess of 5K but not over 7K I'm pretty sure. Another thing I have noticed lately is my clutch lever does not return fully. I usually need to help it the last 1/8 inch (3.2/mm) or so.
Anyone out there have an oppinion as to weather I really have a problem with my clutch or not? I'm pretty sure I need to replace my clutch cable, but am I looking at a new clutch in the not to distant future also?
The bike is an 83 Aspencade with 90,000 miles (144840/km). I got the bike with about 77,000 miles on it but didn't notice any clutch slippage on it then.
Thanks for any input you may have!
