250-500cc 09 wr300 overheats

So i put an after market clutch lever (msr) and perch on my bike and ever since my bike is overheating. I have played with the adjustment on the perch and the mid cable adjuster and just have had no luck. Any ideas? I am thinking i need the shorter clutch cable from earlier-I think 07 to 03 or something like that were shorter.

The bike had never really gotten warm before and now it overheats on any long climb.

Do you have free play in the cable? The only time my WR ever tried to get hot was when I was practicing full lock turns for about 30min, I was really working and slipping the clutch. WRs just don't get hot like KTMs do so there's probably something up with your clutch free travel adjustment that's causing it to slip.

yeah, my bike previously only got hot if i was intentionally feathering the clutch on technical rooty climbs so overheating every time now tells me obviously something is wrong. on my last ride i made sure there was lots of free play at the lever and if anything it was worse. i think i need to look to the mid cable adjuster...could that be so far out of whack that i am getting constant clutch drag?

I wont be doing any testing anytime soon since i also broke my left wrist on my last ride.

Bummer

yes, thanks. not how i planned to spend my summer.

did you change gear box oil 2 another brand lately or different brands in the time you have had it?my 610 clutch slipped when plates old but not worn as i dont slip it.broad pwr.looked like plates soaked/stained with oil.new plates,no slip

slipping clutch can overheat a bike

Dude, you know that all of these threads you're responding to are from 6 months (or more) ago, right? While it's a nice gesture, I don't think these people are still having the same trouble with their bikes almost a year later.

Don't forget adjuster under the clutch cover too
