Well I was out riding yesterday and a few things happened that made me think it's about to go. First thing, I was running up to a double and I was coasting in 4th and then for a split second it sounded like it went into 3rd and jumped back in to 4th. THEN, I was coming around a corner and had it in 3rd. I have to clutch it a bit because theres a short run at the step on step off but I always get over it no problem. Well when I got on the gas it didn't pull at all. Not really bogging it just wasn't pulling hard.

So is this just I need a new clutch or something more?

It might be the clutch, or you may need a new top end. I would start by checking the compression on your motor. Good Luck.

Sounds like the tranny is jumping on you. LTRs are bad about jumping gears once they get a lot of wear on the tranny. Take the clutch basket out and check for loose bolts. I know several people have had to replace the shift forks to solve the problem.
