i finally got my bike working (after bringing it to the shop) and i have ridden it. i can tell it is a pretty sweet bike, but it's not living up to it's potential at all. for some reason there is no power. the bike can move, but it seems like the power slips around 25 in every gear. by this i mean, the bike goes and it just maxes out when i twist the throttle allowing me to only go certain speeds. i can rip the throttle and nothing really would happen except the rpms would go up, where if it wasn't acting strange the bike would be off to the races. it's almost like the clutch was still engaged when it wasn't. it has great throttle response when in neutral, but not when in gear, which makes me think it is a clutch problem. the oil hasn't been changed for a while, while the bike was sitting for a year, so i didn't know if that made a difference either. the mechanic said something about one of the cylinders cleaning itself out or something. idk, i'm not a mechanic and i just want to ride on my bike with no problems.
