    So my bike is running pretty damn good but as always, there is always something....
    When I get out on the open road and am running about 5000 rpms in 5th gear and I open it up to go faster (pass another car for example :twisted: ) it seems to not be grabbing until it gets to around 6500. So it does grab but it takes a while. Could my clutch cable be too tight, as in not enough play, or is this something with the clutch? Thanks!

    loosen the clutch cable a little and see if it helps. it might be too tight and not be releaseing all the way. if that don't help then the clutch is slipping.
