[QUOTE="BigEd, post: 45900, member: 161"] A few points to note: [LIST] [*]The primary clutch can usually transmit the power needed to get you up to 50 - 60 mph. (Last year I managed to ride 100 miles home from Wales after the main clutch suffered slip due to a leaky oil seal.) [*]If the primary clutch slips the main clutch will not come in to play. [*]The primary clutch is so light that if you have marginal play at the push rod you are likely to get slip. [*]You can check that there is some free movement on the G91 lever with the ET24/1 inspection cap removed from the gear cover. [*]If clearances are OK then it may be time to look inside and see if the main clutch shoe linings are oily or worn. [*]If someone has maladjusted the return plungers in the shoes you can also get slip. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
