Vstrom 650 2012 clutch
« on: February 06, 2023, 16:07:40 »
Hello. I've had some issues with clutch slipping at 52000 miles and had a local garage fit a new Suzuki clutch. I'm not happy with bite point but this also changes. Eg. If I do higher revs at bite point the bite point moves. Can anyone advise as it's going back to garage and I don't want the wool pulling over eyes. I've only ever had two clutches done, on a car and on this bike and both times it's been an issue.  :angry-banghead:

It sounds a lot like the clutch cable adjustment may be the possible cause.
