been doing many wheelies? sounds like a bad clutch. especially if someone knowledgeable tested it and agrees. its possible you are using the wrong oil but i doubt it. $25 to adjust your clutch is a ripoff, they should have done it for free. and $300 to change a clutch is completely ridiculous. I would not go back to that shop.

just replace it yourself. its a 15 minute job. drop the oil, remove the clutch cable from the lever, remove the cable from the lever going into the right side engine cover (clutch cover), rotate the lever 180, remove the clutch cover, unbolt the clutch boss, remove the clutch and all the plates, put the new plates in, put it back together, fill it with fresh oil.

unless its covered under warranty... then get it fixed for free. but that shop is ripping you off.


do you ride the brakes while gassing it? do a lot of wheelies? when you take off are you slipping the clutch? something you are doing has worn out the clutch. you really dont need to use the clutch hardly at all on a bike. especially this bike.
