3rd piston ring please help

@calum the clutch was in a bad state but since I got a new lever and adjuster it will pop the front wheel up but it's losing the power after initially using the clutch it feels good but after then it's losing power I don't believe it to be the clutch but I really thought it was till I got a new lever the other day before that I could redline drop the clutch and barely move

Yeah but the load on the clutch in 1st is going to be minimal.

@declan Wouldn't be a bad place to start.
An idea would be to see if it pulls fine with no load on the engine.
So first just put the bike on a paddock, start it and go through all the gears. If that works no problems then jump on bike and od the same but keep it part throttle only. No load.

@declan With load on the engine does it revs hard and no power. Clutch is slipping then.
Either adjust it or replace it.

@calum no it lacks power off the line when moving its decent shift into 3rd the revs die down to a slow idle and you go about 3mph
-
@declan Nah doesn't sound like clutch then.
Sounds like it's a carb setting.
Take the plug out and have a look.
Could simply just not getting enough fuel.

@calum ive been through it more times I can count and never found any issues it's spotless and as for the settings I wouldn't have a clue I'm guess it's way lean on the a:f screw but it turns off on command when hot using the choke

Sounds rich to me. Lean would cause a high hanging idle. The bike should still rev out, just without much power.
When rich, everything is sluggish, and going WOT can feel like youre hitting a rev limiter, or as if the bike has a restriction.
Have you done all the basics? Fresh plug and clean airfilter? Is your floathight correct?

You could remove the side of the airbox and do a testrun and see if its better or worse.
Dont think you can adjust the airscrew enough to sort this out. -
