Nope... Mine runs out just fine when I take off in 1st...

but when you start off an '09 in second gear it'll stall every time.. I saw my buddy do it the other day at a red light... Funny !!

UltraBob, I would start with a clutch adj. from the clucth basket up. That should tell you if you need to go deeper. Sounds like it may be too tight and not releasing.

Is it grabbing a little after it feels like it should be engaged? What kind of primary fluid you running. I have noticed when I run the synthetic oil in the primary it's a much smoother release.

i believe i had the same problem you are describing..... it required an internal clutch adjustment. i had 23000 miles on the clock before this happened but it had been slipping for about 100 miles....

i definitely think your clutch is slipping.... and dont try to adjust it unless you have the manual.... i tried and f_cked it up... got the manual and found that i had to pull the clutch lever 3 times after i did the internal adjustment and before adjusting the slack in the cable... if you do not do this, the bearings inside the clutch do not set correctly and you will have NO clutch at all...

hope this helps....
