So my clutch was perfectly fine with no issues and its a fairly new upgraded engine with a balanced crank and upgraded bearings, ported cylinder and such and it goes over 40 mph but after changing a leaky crank seal, it seems its working with a better seal because of it but it seems its putting stress on the clutch when it engages. This is tough to try to explain but the clutch slips when I am trying to accelerate. It was so bad that it would only rev the engine whether the clutch was engaged or disengaged. It revs but is not catching and it seems internally that the clutch is not properly seated in the engine or off to one side more than it should. Even if I tighten or loosen the flower nut, it seems something is not right. After trying to adjust the flower nut for over an hour, it seems that even when I get it right, it backs itself off on its own and the whole clutch loosens itselfin a matter of a few engagements. I have experienced this before and it seems like the worst case scenario that takes patience. I have been riding and building for almost 10 years and this is the one thing that I still don't fully understand. Some have suggested that the ball bearing behind the bucking bar or the bucking bar itself got worn out but that is certainly not the case. By the skin of my teeth and after an hour trying to rig it just to get home from 10 miles away around midnight last night, I was able to somehow stack a couple clutch pads on top of eachother and still put the flower nut on. That was the only way the clutch wouldn't loosen itself so much as so I would not be able to ride it. It seems that something is internally loose because it only slowly loosens until its too loose. gotta be something simple or maybe not ;p experts please help
