After finally being able to get some lengthy rides on my 76 maxi, I've found that the take-off seems to get a little weaker as the ride goes on. When first started it has a strong pull off the line but after about ten minutes of riding it lags a little. Could it be that the clutch is old and worn down? The bike is stock.
Weak take-off
Re: Weak take-off
Run 0-20 synthetic motor oil instead of type f trans fluid and overfill it a few oz more
Re: Weak take-off
Sweet. Ill try that as soon as I can.
Re: Weak take-off
check for air leaks after getting it to operating temps, that could be ur problem
Re: Weak take-off
+1 on checking for air leaks. Also, as the bike warms to operating temps, I find that takeoff does go down a bit, normally, compared to the takeoff you get with a cold engine. And check your idle adjustment, so that it's not too rich or too lean.
