Mine some times does something slightly similar, itll be nicly slipping setting off then itll enguage even if you hold the lever at the same point... Not sure what that is. Nothing really bad mind once you are used to it, didnt think it was a slipper thing though.
Maybe you dont notice Muffles because your engine is smoother with its many small pistons?

but if you disengage the clutch again it needs to re-engage or slip, although you don't feel the effect while your moving.

When you down shift does your clutch feel lighter when the throttle is shut? Because of the weigh mine works when you down shift with closed throttle the clutch becomes feather lite... well compaired to normal.

Well when you have a pair of dust bin size pistons pounding away you need a strong clutch to transfer the push... guess little engines are good to use little clutches :p
How much do you weigh Mr Wolf?

Hmmph damn was going to show you this review of the falco, which used to be there... But basically one of the riders was playing about with the falco and bacing it into the corners supermoto style, said the slipper clutch was great and he had no issue doing it. |
