Hi, I am new to the forums but you all have been helping me for the last 6 months just from reading all the great posts here. I have a 1984 GL1200I. It sat for 19 years in a leaking and falling apart shed.I have cleaned it up and have done lots of work on it. I have been riding it for about a week and just noticed that the clutch seems to be slipping when I hit around 4,000 rpm, then as I rode it home it started to slip at 2,500 rpm. I did just replace the oil and filter about 3 days ago,I used Rotella T 15w-40. So I am not sure if that has anything to do with it. I rebuilt themaster cylinderand flushed the hoses and bled it out pretty good when I first got it. I have always thought the clutch handle was a little weak. As in it didn't ingage the clutch until it was almost fully extended. I am dreading the thought of replacing the clutch. But if that is what is wrong then I will do it. It is my first bike ever andI am new at working on abike, so Iguess I am just looking for someone to say yea it's your clutch, replace it.
