- June 27, 2020, 20:28:18 PMI just joined this forum and self admittedly am not to computer or mechanically implied but love driving. plus I keep mechanics in business I guess . So if this is a dupe subject or in the wrong place I apologize. I have a 99 Drifter 1500.. Got it 4 years ago. Didn't drive a lot but got it painted 3 years ago and when I got it back I went on a nice drive with a buddy. The clutch went out. I Would let out the handle. wouldn't engage or move. So I had it towed home and it sat in my garage with a beautiful new paint job until March of this year. Found a bike shop a mile away. They came and grabbed it in march and I just got it back two weeks ago. He put in a whole new clutch and master cylinder. So I went and got a sticker and putted around. Called my same buddy from 3 years ago and we decide to recreate our drive. a half hour in I noticed the same thing happening. I let out the clutch and gave it gas and the engine had no "bite" or zip to it. Kind of revved and slowly engaged but not tight or with any zest. ( describing the best I can) I wasn't to happy. it kinda of started working again on the rest of the ride. but still didn't feel right or snappy. I got it home. Called the shop the next day. Told the guy and he said to get 3-400 miles on it and let him know what happens. I have 150 miles on the rebuild so far .So I am at a loss here. if I got a brand new clutch and it slips a little when the bike heats up anyone know what gives? Im really frustrated and hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction. appreciate any replies or knowledge. I live south of Boston about 10 miles just for the record.
