CB350/400 / Sudden Loss Of Drive. CB350F
« on: July 25, 2021, 04:26:32 PM »
I was accelerating the bike hard up a slight hill and when I let the clutch out in fifth fear the revs shot sky high and there was no drive.
At first I thought that I had missed the gear but I checked and it was engaged correctly.
I slowed down and tried all the gears and the symptoms are the same in every gear.
There is drive at low throttle openings but as soon as any sort of power is applied drive is lost completely.
It doesn't feel like clutch slip. A slipping clutch is usually less noticeable in the lower gears but gets worse in the higher gears. This problem is much the same in every gear. I'm wondering if I might have stripped something in the primary drive.
Are there any known issues which I should check first?
