1995 Husky WXE 610 clutch slipping

So I picked up a WXE 610 supermoto, love the bike running good, but its slipping in the higher gears underload, that thells me the clutch is going. But the Husky Dealer is telling me that I need to crack the side case off it and readjust the pivoting arm... Personally that sounds like BS to me, bike is a 1995 and hasnt had a clutch since 2000 the Previous Owner said. So I think its due.

I have never owned a bike where you have to "adjust" the pivoting arm while the clutch wears down.....


is this true?

YES ! remove the side cover and you will find a freeplay adjuster.

holy crap, how oculd husky build such a bitchin bike and hten eff that up

They rarely need adjustment, probably messed up by previous owner.

If adjustment doesn't fix it I will just need your clutch pressure plate. Later George

I believe someone (UpTite) has a pressure plate mod for high RPM high load clutch slipping on 610s. ( I really don't know for sure but think it's about drilling some oil relief holes to evacuate the oil from inside the clutch pack, I've seen this done on other machines with good effect)
