5bikeme Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5bikeme Posted September 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 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! 5bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliechitlins Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest coflet Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
