I think my centrifugal clutch is slipping. It wasn't noticeable before with the 48T sprocket but with the 56T it revs up from a standing start faster than it actually accellerates. It's not too bad yet because the engine revs die back on hills when the bike is struggling whereas if the clutch was slipping badly the motor would rev on hills without going forwards.
Is there a simple way I could fix this or might it be related to swapping over to a wet GB from a greased one and a bit of slip is caused from the oil in the clutch chamber. Should I worry about it? I'm changing back to a 48T tonight because my instincts tell me the little motor doesn't like peak revs.
Anyway I'd like to know if I can fix whatever is worn in the clutch. I've never looked inside the centrifugal clutch since I built the bike.
