jell36 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Ok, so I've had my zed for nearly 2 years now and but I seem to have a bit of a strange problem. If I put my foot down in 1st or 2nd (not tried it in any other gears due to the speeds), I mean floor it, I can watch the revs climb and the speed increase but it feels slower than it should be. As soon as I hit pretty much exactly 4,000 rpm, the power seems to suddenly increase massively to the point that a few times I have had the wheels suddenly spin at 4k rpm. Any ideas what might cause this? Also, off topic, I don't appear to be able to start a new line when I type, I press enter but the cursor doesn't move.

ZMANALEX Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Perhaps clutch slipping. Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jell36 Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 Would it suddenly grip at 4k rpm though? I did wonder that it may be the clutch, hence buying a new clutch and fly from you (not fitted them yet). But then I thought that as you are ear the max torque at 4k rpm, you were more likely to keep slipping the clutch than for it to grip. Or have I misunderstood what clutch failure is like (never had one go on me before)? Apologies for all the questions but I'm an engineer so have a habit of wanting to understand fully why things happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jell36 Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 ok so sounds like it's normal. I'll let you all know if the new clutch changes it once it's fitted. Thanks for the tip about IE 10 as that is what I'm using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
