    ok so ive been having problems with acceleration and didnt wanna buy bits i didnt need, i took cases of when running and think ive narrowed it down to the clutch



    as u can see when i rev it the belts moving but dont look like clutch bites at all, would this be springs or clutch shoes too warm

    Is there any pads left on your clutch and what clutch spring are in it if you put full revs on does it move then?

    if you havn't changed
    it then it probably wouldnt be that but i know this is a stupid question but the back break piston isnt stuck out so its not letting the back wheel mover properly isit ?

    Also maybe your gears could be seized ?
