G'day - I started a thread a while back regarding a LUNGE in 1st, off the mark and sometimes out of a slow corner.

It is fixed. There were a couple of replies that dealt with the possibility of a worn 'dog' or teeth snapped of 1st cog but the gears were all OK!

It turned out to be a little spring that helps the clutch plate engage!!!!

Oh well I upgraded to a Barnett Clutch System for the trouble and it's even better than it was before!

As a point of interest there were no filing or shredded metal of any kind at the bottom of the tranny - Very Happy!

Sweet, I've been wondering what that was...I guess I'll be getting a new clutch now! It progressively gets worse and will work it's way into other gears...LOL

I have that too, I wonder if removing my spring plate and replacing it with the metal and fiber plates that Buellistic recommends would also solve it?

I just bought a whole new clutch/tranny/primary assembly for cheap...=)

Should fix my problem. Anyone need a used transmission?

"removing my spring plate and replacing it with the metal and fiber plates that Buellistic recommends would also solve it?"

Although the "grenade plate" mod eliminates a known weak link, it will make clutch engagements a little less refined. Since you're riding a tuber anyway - I don't think that a smooth, refined experience is what you're after but there's my $0.02 nonetheless.

Thanks Pk, I'll have to ask Preybird how he likes his new clutch when he gets his bike back. Maybe an aftermarket replacement is in order...

You can't use Tuber, Refined, and Smooth in one sentence...

My tuber runs on refined petroleum, which I sometimes accidentally spill on my smooth tank over.
