    Hi All

    I have a problem with my 2006 Blade, at anything above 4000rpm, under hard acceleration it feels like the clutch is slipping as the rev needle jumps up the dial but it doesn't accelerate properly or as hard as it should. Initially I thought it was wheel spin but it definitely isn't as I'd have come off on a corner by now!

    The bike has only done 16000 miles so it isn't a high mileage bike. I did the hydraulics for the clutch with a mate on Sunday and cleaned the piston and put new fluid in, but that hasn't done anything. Maybe it's the clutch plates?

    Has anyone else had this problem? Or if anyone can shed any light it would be massively appreciated as it's driving me insane!!

    Thanks
