doesn't seem to matter whether hot or not. sometimes i can ride it for hours with no trouble then sometimes it happens within the first 100 yards. picked up a clymer manual and went through it thinking maybe it was a clutch adjustment issue (wanted to elimintate the simple stuff first) but didn't seem to change anything. that leads me to another question...in the manual it mentions the two marks on the case near the clutch and aligning the leverage piece to center these two markings....mine cannot even come close to being center. it lines up about 2 inches forward of these two points. (can take pics if needed)
hoping the problem is clutch related and not transmission related
