  • Cluh plates or springs?

    I own a 1972 kawasaki on/off road dirtbike i bought from my brother after he blew it up for 20 bucks. so i bored it .040 over and now in low range if u give it throttle it will move but once u get it mid to high rpm the clutch slips, it doesn't do it AS bad in high range but still does when u get into the fun rpm range.this bike has the dual range tranny 5 in high and 5 lo but ide like to get my low range back for road riding. Iv'e talked to my dad after finding friction plates online but he says its most likley just weak springs, does this sound right? ill probobly end up getting both but it is just springs why spend mroe money.

    Could be one or the other.....could be cable adjustment.....if you're using synthetic oil that can cause slippage as well.

      So he was paid 20 bucks to blow up a bike? I've seen guys do that for free!
