Power Loss Question???
Hi folks, I'm on the road and have a bit of a problem with my old faithful.
Got my Wee-Strom stuck deep in sand, was revving the f**k out of her to get her out, in first gear. Once I got back on to terra firma the power was gone out of her.
Basically, she still runs fine on each gear at it's lowest throttle level, where I'm just giving her a wee wee bit of juice, so I can go up through the gears and still get 100-120kph in 6th (with a good hill behind me), but in each gear I can't accelerate.
If I pull the throttle any more past the barest bite mark, the revs go crazy, but with no extra power to the bike.
Did I burn out the clutch? Or what else could it be?
So basically I've got to bring the bike to a mechanic somewhere here in Spain, but I'm just wondering what the hell is wrong with it before I go in and try to explain it in my bad Spanish to a local mechanic.
As always, thanks for the help folks!
