1986 200x clutch/shifting problems HELP PLEASE!

[roger86200x]

Hey, my 86 200x doesnt shift properly...... when I go into 1st gear its fine but when I get on it and accelerate and let out the clutch after shifting into 2nd or 3rd or 4th or 5th or 6th gear it slips a second and revs up and it feels like it is still in the previous gear!!!! then drops into gear finally and takes off :shock: .... what makes this happen? bad clutch or springs or what!? the clutch I think is properly adjusted... it engages then still has a little play in the lever/cable like it is supposed to...it isnt too tight or anything... any info would really help, thanks! also if it is the clutch is it hard 2 change!??? THANKS GUYS!!

you might have worn pads...might wanna check that are you the first owner, if not the person that had it before you might have clutched it alot/rode the clutch :?

You need to take the cover off and inspect the clutch disks. Sounds like they are shot.
