Did you flush your engine with oil? Then refill with fresh oil?

Did your carb get clogged with sand?

I'm not sure if this is a carb/jetting problem, engine problem, or transmission problem.

Is your clutch slipping, or is the motor actually sputtering?

[red4r]

like the engine sounds fine... i havnt flushed my engine yet...i dont think my carbs clogged cuz the engine runs fine...i think it might be my clutch because its fine for a while then i get on the gas and engine revs up but not all the power is being put to the tires ...so its prob clutch but wat should i do about that?>

[gbcap]

yup...you either need to adjust the clutch...or get a new one.

if the motor is fine your prolly alright. but the sand could have done some minor damage to the vavles and all. i would look at that.

i had this happen to me. ...your clutch is slippiing.

[red4r]

allright thanks for the help...but now how should i go about this should i just take it to my honda dealer cuz its still under warranty or wat? thanks again

the clutch is considered normal wear. your dealer is gonna bust your balls on labor so you might as well do it yourself. its really easy.

[red4r]

allright so if my dealer is gonna charge me... what do i need to buy ..ive never had clutch problems so i have no clue wat ill need

get new clutch fibers, and plates
