Check the diff oil as well. Jack the bike up, put it in gear, and see how much movement there is in your driveshaft by seeing how much movement in the rear tire, (forward and back, rocking the tire) this will show any excess play in the diff, driveshaft, and gears in tranny. Just a couple more things to check.

Good luck with it and keep us posted. Troll and the Chief should weigh in on this; they are our "drifter Guru's"!

Could be you have a bubble in the lines.  Might try bleeding the clutch line.

Since the 1500's are wet clutch how are the fluids? Have you checked the oil? Does it only do it when it's cold? Just a starting point.

so about  2 weeks ago I noticed when I shifted into second and accelerated it felt like how a chain and sprocket feel when they are slipping... it seems worse when the bike is cold.. and I am not talking about real hard acceleration just standard leaving a light or getting up to speed. any ideas what this could be???
