Hello everyone,
I purchased a new 2023 EPure Race trails bike about a month ago. This is my first trails bike so I am pretty excited about it. Last week I rode the bike with zero mechanical issues. A few days later, I rode the bike again, but this time as soon as I gave it throttle the clutch was slipping, and it was very apparent. The slightest incline, causes the bike to struggle and I can just hear the motor wind up but very little power. I have ridden dirt bikes, all my life, but are new to trials. I have not been beating on the bike hard or popping clutch at high RPMs a lot. I do the occasional clutch pop getting over down trees but that’s about it. I checked the oil window on the side of the case and it appears to be a bluish greenish color. It’s not milky or dirty at all. Right now I’m at a struggle. The closest dealership is a 14+ hour round-trip and I would ultimately have 30 hours of drive time to drop the bike off and pick the bike back up. Typically warranty repairs are not smooth so I really don’t want to waste all that time if possible. I guess I’m hoping someone else has had a similar issue That was an easy fix that I can perform myself. Not sure if there is something easily adjustable on the clutch that could have gotten out of wack. It’s just concerning that It literally started with no warning or noticeable reason of damage.
Any helpful advice would be appreciated. I live in Nashville Tennessee.
