So. The past week or so. It's become more difficult to find neutral (I feel this is a common problem), but at lower speeds. When I pull the clutch in to downshift, its not the seamless motion it used to be. Becoming a little more effort than it used to be to 'get the gears in'
Now. I have dropped the bike doing a u turn. I stopped. 0mph, that depressing feeling when....going....going.... Gone! And fell on the right side of the bike, the brake lever is twisted and the front brake lever worse for it. I turned off the motor as soon as I could.
The dealer suggested this has damaged the clutch...
Secondly. He has suggested, I've burnt out the clutch due to my riding style.
Now. 3rd gear for me. Is a pretty much 'do it all gear' - Once moving, it does 30mph to 100mph (private road, blah blah blah), without bother. So yeah, I probably change less than other bikes. Put really?
I ended up trying to justify myself to him. I've ridden bikes for 17years. R1, ZX10, Raptor 1000 V Twin, Street Triple RS. Never burnt a clutch out before.
But somehow, on a bike with 2,000miles on it. I've broke it. I'm not reving it from 1,000rpm in 6th gear to max 9,000rpm
Anyway. Ideas? And whats the worse case? New clutch. How many of the english pounds will that be?
