Your lever should be tighter when the bike is cold. Take the bike for a good ride to get everthing good and hot. Then adjust the clutch so you have about a nickels worth of freeplay between the lever and the perch.

Re:slipping clutch, but only when cold... 8 Months, 1 Week ago  
yep, its adjusted correctly, definatly has play, more than a nickle more like 2 nickles, I like my clucth to start pulling when I pull it with 2 fingers and the lever is against the other two fingers that are holding the bar< i like it to start pulling slightly after lever leaves fingers.. did I explain that correctly? probably not, but there is definatly enough play in the lever, good ideas though, keep em coming. whats average price for the barnett clutch. I have done may of them on my dirtbikes,, and one on my blackbird. but this one looks like it is huge!

Well I can't say anything more than what I've already said. Your clutch will continue to slip.

Me either,,, just make sure the cable is working freely,, after that, maybe you will need to get into it.
