Bike has developed what I can describe as kangarooing (think back to the first time you drove a manual car, and hadn't mastered clutch control).
Seems to be more pronounced when cold.
Bike is currently in for 24k service, and advised shop of this behaviour.
Mechanic calls today and mentions about clutch basket issues on Gen1. He is going to have a looksee tomorrow. Basically he has said that the Gen1 basket is riveted onto the drive plate (flywheel??) and these can fail or the holes get extended allowing the basket to rotate causing the judder/kangaroo?
I've done some reading, but still getting used to the search on this forum, so either getting hundreds of resutls of 2-3.
Does this sound familar to people.
Is he on the right path here
I've had a look on the Fowlers parts list, ~£550, but on back order for the 2014> basket (2BS-16150-00). Partzilla in the US has it listed for around $380, but delivery could be late November.
I use the bike as a daily commuter...so hoping this is all a red herring, but want to be as informed as possible...plan for the worse and all that
