slipping clutch on 84 fj1100

[T Legg]

Well i checked the kill switch and the wires to it were cut and it was previously bypassed(the switch looked clean and shiny and had strong snap to it but no continuity).also with further riding i realize it is only second and third that do it .I don't know what i was thinking by the time I hit 7000 rpm in fourth it is already at 100 mph and the acceleration is much less .It is definitely occuring under the hardest acceleration in second and third.There seems little doubt now that it is the transmission.I think the ignition relay is a great idea i'm definitely going to do that. and to the previous post who just replaced all his clutch parts . i think the clutch hanging up so that we have to rock the bike to get the clutch to release may be caused by a poorly aligned pressure plate spring hanging up on the clutch basket. it was difficult ligning up two clutch springs while torquing them down .if it is way off it might even keep it from putting full pressure on the fiber discs and be causing your slipping.I am going to check my alignment and retorque it soon . I'll also look for scrape marks>
