Clutch issue

DEPO · 06-24-2003, 4:33 PM

I bring in the clutch and put the bike in first gear, I then raise the RPMs to about 9500 and quickly, but gently let go of the clutch. The bike smashes forward really hard and a hot, burning smell comes from the middle of the bike. I know I am not doing anything wrong, but is that covered under warranty?

Just wanted to make people giggle on a Tuesday Afternoon.

Seems to be a common problem with these ninja bikes...

Why not 11 grand & then let then drop the clutch lever ---- a little more dramatic. LOL

Yeah, I know what you mean... I've gotten bored with the usual daily riding, so I cut most of the strands in my clutch cable. Nothing like a little unpredictability and excitement to get the adrenaline flowing
