[QUOTE="Vinthou, post: 7184, member: 506"] I had this problem once and although I doubt that the cause of your slipping clutch is the same, I will relate just in case. The bike had been subjected to a "professional" rebuild , which had occurred many years and two owners previously. I tore it apart a couple of times, then noticed that the arrow on the shoes faced the wrong way. One of the clutch shoes had never been countersunk to accomodate the pin, so the fitter had simply reversed the shoes. This resulted in the larger shoe being used for starting and the small one for driving. After some time it just could not cope any more and would slip under hard acceleration , or at speeds in excess of 70 mph. [/QUOTE]
