2013 V7 clutch slipping when cold but grabs when warm
« on: June 18, 2025, 05:57:59 PM »
Hello all, I just picked up a 2013 V7 racer with ~7k miles and one thing I noticed is the clutch slips when cold, but grabs as it should after warming up.  I saw a thread where some folks were talking about the clutch cable running through the cylinder cooling fins, heating up, and stretching.  I haven't looked into this yet, but was curious if others have experienced similar symptoms. 

Picture of the bike the day I picked it up: https://ibb.co/CpfD8zzKπ

Give it more slack, sounds like it's too tight.  Try it, all I can think of w/o hands on look & feel.
