Hey everyone, as some of you know I bought a 77 suzuki gs750 for my first motorcycle.
Today I just received my permit and got the bike registered. Well I was riding the bike hard and in 2 gear if I get on the throttle and get into high rpms (7000) when I shift to third it feels like the clutch slips. The bike revs up with no load for a sec then It will start to grab and be normal again. It does the same thing if I go from 3 to 4 riding hard in high rpms. I have not tried from 4 to 5 because then I'm getting over 85mph, I just got my permit and don't want to loose it! The last time I rode the bike it showed no sign of slipping at all.
Well about 12 days ago I put some marvel mystery oil into the oil. It was ridden for a short time then parked for a week or so. I'm wondering if the marvel mystery oil has some sort of friction modifier that soaked in causing the wet clutch to slip? Or maybe it's just time for new fibers and steels? I have never experienced clutch slip before so I thought I would ask if my assumption is accurate at all.
