Pv adjustment help

@finnerz89 It's more likely to do it under load in the lower gears, where the ratios are smaller and you're trying to accelerate. I would have thought.
-
@calum in my experience it does it in higher gears when you're accelerating. At least that's what it did on my 650 and 1200
@finnerz89 It'll slip under load. So in the higher gears I guess you will be exerting more load onto the gearbox,

@calum yeah. The way I've always checked to see if a clutch is slipping is roll off the throttle in fifth or top, then snap the throttle back open. If it's going to slip then that's when it'll do it.
With a 2 stroke it's obviously a bit different, hitting the powerband would replicate that though I guess.
Much higher load on the engine in the higher gears -
I have never soaked clutchplates for 24, nor seen anyone do it.
Just assemle with a coat of oil will do the trick.And yes, clutches are more prone to slip in higher gear, because the load on it is way higher.

All! Big thanks for all of your replies and assistance.
My clutch problem was indeed a adjustment issue, half a turn on handlebar adjuster.
I guess soaking them for 24 hours would be better, but according to the Haynes manual not necessary as it just says cover them in the gearbox oil prior to installation.
But god darn it is a rocket for a 125cc! Considering l have a 700cc bike it still made me smile as it squirted up to 70mph! Ho-ho!
But l have to say l had to push her home, l now have another problem!
She died on me......
Starts all fine, put her in gear and she just dies!
What the cluck could be causing this?
P.S l am not gonna give up on this bike now, as it is practically new with all the parts I’ve changed!
Again that’s in advance for all of your help! -

@declan
Thanks, l found a post from earlier this year with a guy having the same trouble.
Unbelievable a little switch can cause much trouble. Should have a light to say the circuit is broken.
Been years since l pushed a motorcycle home! Ha-ha!

@calum it’s playing up again out of the blue I had to blindly adjust pv when I was out got it going properly after a bit went through a bit of water and then it started playing up Again I did wash the bike yesterday so I think it’s probably water the wires for the stator are exposed where they go into the cover Any ideas otherwise

Is the servo disconnected?
They can act up aswell due to corrosion and such.
