Clutch slip

[rick danger]

I'm feeling a bit of clutch slip shifting from 4 to 5th mostly. Or really only. And only when really getting on it. Anybody else? I'm going to change the oil. See what happens. 6.5k miles, so seems about time. I don't like stretching it out to the manufacturers suggested mileage. I always change a bit early on my bikes.

I don't have to much to offer as far as why but I have about 2800 miles on my bike and once when I was going balls to the wall it slightly slipped when I hit 3rd gear. Only thing I can think of is maybe I was still giving it a bit of throttle while shifting and it didn't let the clutch engage as easily, thats the only thing I can think of.

Ive had the same happen in 3rd on my old goldwing under the same circumstances. Changing the oil certainly isn't going to hurt I did mine at 600 and 1200 and plan to do it every 3k miles. Oil is cheap insurance.

Thanks, I'm really looking to hear that most everybody can get a bit of slip sometimes when accelerating hard. Depending on maybe releasing the clutch a bit slow, or something. As long as I know its not just my bike developing a problem.
