Good day all, It seems when I'm at full throttle and just before redline, the engine starts to wind up, I loose power and it seems that the clutch is slipping. I was just in the shop for a tire change and the tech said he noticed it but said it wasn't the clutch. Does anyone know what may be happening? Thanks, Jason

For my 2001 Kat rev-limiter is set 500 rpms lower than redline. However, when I hit that limit it causes a stutter in the bike. The whole bike jolts back and forth. What happens is the ignition cuts out two of the cylinders.
Is this anywhere's near what your feeling? -
No, it's not the rev-limiter, it's more like when you pull the clutch in a little. Lets say i'm full throttle tucked down, when i get to about 10-12 rpm, its almost like i pull the clutch in a bit, the motor just winds up and I loose power.Comment

Then your clutch is slipping. Try adjusting the cable.90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.

I was just trying to back out the screw of the worm gear and it was really tight. The screw head has now broke and I have no way of adjusting it. What should I do know?Comment

Parts Fiche #22 shows it to be a replaceable part. Either replace that one piece or buy a complete used cover that has it and install the cover. Then start all over.
You don't state what year your Katana is so I posted the parts fiche for my 2001.Last edited by squiggy; 02-24-2009, 03:22 PM.Comment

If you take the sprocket cover off , you can get the whole assembly out . But if you're having a hard time just getting the clutch adjusted , this MAY be something you'll want some help with , 'cause if you ain't careful about how it goes back together
