slipping

hi, i have an 04 fe450 that slips on the starter when cold, it had a full rebuild 46 hours ago at taffys and had all the starter upgrades fitted, the garter spring on the sprague snapped so i put the original garter spring back on but still no joy, if i tap the start button it will grip and turn...

Hi! I noticed my clutch starts to slip more and more, but the weird thing is that the friction plates have no signs of wear at all? I'm using plutoline 10w50 nanotech as engine oil, so nothing wrong with that? its a fs 570 from 2010!

can anyone help me. ive got a fs 650 06 model and ive just changed the clutch plates as the old ones had gone but before they did they were slipping in higher gears as i was putting the power on , I just put this down to the clutch being knackered but now with the new plates in im having the...

Well, I did my homework and I'm still at a loss.... I have an '09 FE 570 with 104 hours on her. She has not been abused and has seen all the regular maintenance and oil changes at no more than 15 hours. Running Rotella in the white bottle. I started noticing that the clutch was slipping a...

Going down the straight away, power shifting as fast as I can. No Clutch, sometimes when going into 4th or 5th gear, the bike pops up out gear, nasty grinding noise, revs shoot up. Is it because I am not hitting the shifter hard enough or what?? It usually goes back into gear soon after this...

This is a new sprague, tried adding a new spring also... no love. Engine is cold, spark plug removed, turns over very easily by hand with the kickstarter. Is this normal with a cold engine??? I know they are a re-starter... and it generally works pretty well once the engine is warmed up...

Hoping any of the Berg boffins can assist.... I have a '04 Berg 550FE with a stuffed kickstarter (will implement some of Taffy's ideas when I do the repair) and therfore totally reliant on the e-start at the moment. I have navigated thru this forum and have read about everything with a...

struggling to figure out whats wrong here, the bike had quickly developed a problem in 3rd gear, its like the clutch is slipping, puts down enough power to roll along, but as soon as you ease on the throttle, it slips, 1st and 2nd gears are perfect and it even seems to be ok in 4th, i'd replced...

I have a FE650 -03 with a E-start problem. (I´ll guess that must be a surprise to you all :wink: ) Anyway, I have installed an extra battery under the seat and first tried to run it parallell to the original battery. To start with this actually work once and a while, but after a while the...
