Today was the first time i got to ride the bike in anger. Roads were dry and the sun was shining. Anyway, when hammering it in 4th at about 7500rpm, the RPM suddenly jumped up and continued to do so until i backed of a bit. The bloody clutch was slipping!! It did it in 5th and 6th as well (testing on a private runway of course) Very strange it doesn't do it in 2nd or 3rd????? Anyone else had this? Were talking full throttle A mode here.
I fitted some handlebar muffs, so couldn't try and adjust the clutch cable on the move, but I will try and back off the tension on the cable a bit before calling Yamaha. The clutch does sound a bit odd when slipping it in low gears first thing in the morning, but i put that down to a cold engine / lack of oil
