Took my 2022 with 200 miles out for a spin over the weekend.Went up a pretty steep hill on our farm and when it got particularly steep, the bike bogged down and it seemed as if the clutch was slipping.Walked it up the remainder of the hill ,turned around and rode it back to the garage thinking I needed to do a clutch adjustment.
Watched a couple of video on the clutch adjustment.Unlocked the 14mm lock nut after marking the screw head position.Each video I watched showed no more than a half rotation of the screw before tension was felt with the screwdriver.My screwdriver did two full rotations before coming to a stop.I never felt the slight tension that was shown in the videos.Next I backed the screw counterclockwise until it stopped.No slight tension.
I was confused because of what I expected and what I found.I put the screw back in it’s original position,locked the lock nut and went for a short ride.The bike seems Ok,but I didn’t do the steep hill again.
Any suggestions?
