bike revs at high speeds
« on: March 21, 2012, 08:15:59 AM »
Hi, I'm looking for some help on what my problem might be. bikes a 1971 honda cb750.
When I get up to around 60mph and try to push my bike a little harder it revs up like an automatic dropping gear to speed up and then eventually settles down. It actually seems to do this in lower gears as well.
thanks.

Clutch slippage?

i was told that might be it, it's not when I'm shifting gears though. Would that still cause it?

Slipping in higher gears is usually a premature sign that the clutch is going out.
