Hi All,
I have a '99 R1100GS with 43k on. I have just spent a week in Scotland and noticed a couple of time when I was motoring along in 5th and overtook something the revs raised right up and I needed to roll off the throttle and then it settled down. It happened a couple of times during the trip. It only happens when I needed to overtake and give it the beans. My initial thinking it is the clutch?
First question: A friend of mine said it is possible to adjust the slip out of the clutch and this will sort it? Is this possible?
Second question: If a clutch is needed, what do you recommend? I don't off-road my bike, but I go camping with it. My bike is a keeper and I want to do the job right and for it to last a long time. Is OEM clutch good enough?
I plan to do this job myself with help and learn more about spannering. Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
Brad
