im been getting some good wheelies out of my bike but the clutch seems to not work as well once the bike gets heated up. getting ready for a ride, i start the bike up and let it warn up as i get ready for the ride. on a cold clutch the bike leaps right up for wheelies anytime anywhere.
after the ride, low on gas and high on heat. i try to jump up the bike and get squat. even giving the bike more throttle than i should take and still nothing.
whats the physics involved here?

Don't use the clutch. Run it up to around 2,500 to 3,000.........chop the throttle and then gouge it on the rebound...it'll pop right up ..........

I'm running amsoil in the primary

it really strange that the clutch gets fadded..
arnt the friction plates composed of similar material as used in disk brakes?
¿¿brake fade = clutch fade?? or am I crazy

I think most XB's do this. I have always noticed a difference in mine when it gets really hot.

Maybe it has something to do with the oil being thicker when cold?
