First place to look is at clutch adjustment....if it's right, there should be about a nickel's thickness of play at the clutch lever (learned that here on the clinic!)...after that we'll look for clutch slippage. Our Stars tend to have a little bit of a weak diaphragm spring, which can be remedied in a couple ways...and I'm sure SOMEONE will chime in on THAT part shortly!
How's that, mods???

Sure sounds like a slipping clutch. Whether it's an adjustment, wrong oil or ?

Sounds like you have a slipping clutch. Barnett has a replacement spring set that replaces a diaphram spring with a plate and six coil springs. They also have heavy duty springs.. I can get them for you; the kit is $110.00 list is $137.50, the heavy duty springs are $14.25 list is $21.51.
I hope you have not used an oil with anti-friction additives as they will destroy the clutch plates; a lot of slipping will destroy them also. Barnett plate kit is $107.00 list is $161.92

As stated, clutch adjustment 1st place to look.If it is the springs, It's easy to fix. Clifford just gave you the best price you will find.

I concure with the slipping clutch. I purchased my un-molested (Reserved for me only to molest) 99 R* Silverado last May with 11,000 miles on it and clutch slipage wasn't an issue even when 2-up. Over the winter I did a lot of maintanence and some upgrades, one of which was the Dyna 3000 set at 32 advance and 5,000 rev-limiter. I then did the "Poormans BAK on the stock airbox (bored 8 1.25" holes in the perimiter with K&N filter and re-jetted the carb with a Barons kit, 170 main, 4th clip on needle, and 3.5 turns out on the PMS (MixMax Screw) and it was a winner right out of the gate. I have been tweaking the PMS and have settled on 3 turns out for now. I have to add I have done the stage 1&2 stock exhaust mod as well as slotting the backplate so I call it the stage 2.5. All this to say that now when I ride and "Get it on hard", from 3rd gear up I now have a slipping clutch. I guess I crossed the line with the stock clutch. It still accellerates even with slip but slower, just a delayed hook-up. I dont ride hard usually so It isn't really a problem yet. I do think a clutch mod is in a future mod for me, Maybe next winters mods. |
