Clutch problems or what?

[rowey007]

I've just bought an old DR750s and intend to use it for doing some travelling through Morrocco etc, next year. In the mean time I need to learn how to fix it.
So far my mechanical expertise goes as far as fitting a new battery. (which i did by necessity last night).

The next thing that seems to be a problem with the clutch. When I accellerate hard (like if Im overtaking someone) the engine revs up as I would expect it to, but the bike doesnt actually accelerate at a corrisponding rate (it does accellerate, but just really slowly). Then after a few seconds of reving up to 6500 rpm, the revs drop back to about 5000 rpm and the bike keeps accellerating (and the revs climb back up towards 6500 rpm at the same rate). Its a bit like driving an automatic car that cant find the right gear.

Any thoughts?

Next thing, if it is a clutch, does anyone know where I can get a new one, and also the tool I need to fit the thing. (based in the UK but anywhere in europe would be ok)

thanks
