Hi Folks,

have been riding forever, (well 37 years anyway....!)

stumbled onto this site and registered, looks like

an excellent forum.

As stated above, i have a '99 TXT-270, and believe it

or not,i just started it up (3rd kick) for first time

this year. Hadn't been since last fall.

Anyway, it runs fine, but clutch is slipping terribly.

Didn't seem to at first, but the longer i rode it, the

worse it got. Sure didn't the last time i was on it.

Any suggestions ?

Certainly do appreciate any help you can provide this

dinosaur with.

complete regards,

5bike

r2w,

thanks for your reply. the bike has VERY

few hours on it, so was thinking it was

perhaps something minor, if there is

anything special i need to know regarding

clutch disassembly, maybe someone can advise...

i appreciate any and all help.

enjoy!

Actually...if it didn't do it when you put it away, it'll probably fix itself.

I'd put some regular motor oil in it (5W30), as it has a detergent in it, and leave it in for a ride or 2 and dump it.

Charlie,

Cool !

i will definitely give that a try!

wasn't looking forward to disassembly.....

Thanks again !

I have seen on many occasions that the friction plates can loose the stick on friction material ,only way to find out is to take it to bits

Hi Coflet,

thanks for your input !
