Almost ready to sell it man I'm telling you this bike is pissing me off

[2002 FALCON]

Three or so bikes ago, I had a Suzuki.
Thing looked and ran fine. Could ride for hours without any problems.
But, when in 2nd gear, if I gave it a snap wot, it would pull hard, then do a micro slip thing, then keep pulling.
Only in second gear and only under wot. If I wound it out gradually, no issues at all.

Turned out to be a 2nd gear problem in the box. This after going through every conceivable thing that may be the cause. Not saying yours is, just my experience.

Mine is doing now in pretty much ANY gear.

My mustang did that at high RPMs and replacing the line with a braided one fixed the problem. I guess while doing aggressive clutch pedal dumps, the line would collapse and pedal would stay on the floor.

I only use the clutch to pull away when ripping, after that 2-6 is wham blam slam.

ok here is my $0.001 worth , the clutch master cylinder has 2 ports. ( primary and secondary). the smallest one is about 0.3 mm ( not sure in thousand of inches ). but very small any partial restriction or blockage. slows the release of pressure after releasing the clutch. unless you really blow out or probe this port you are not certain it is unrestricted —— i have written of this and put up some photos in another post i probe the port with a strand of copper wire , and blow it with compressed air bikes that sit for long periods are very prone to this restriction. there that’s my random thoughts

Mine never sits I ride all year even winter. When I rebuilt the slave I soaked it over night, blew it out too.

Gunk can raise up and block the filter then fall back down. If it has not been done in recent years, to the points above, you may wish to do a complete fuel system maintenance and see what you find.

Entire fuel system is stock 02 never touched.

the tread by J August 2020. covers the problem he had , not quite the same as yours , but similar. and checking the port is not too difficult
as the other post discusses. the shield can be bent to get at the port

But it's engaging fine, this happens after the clutch is fully engaged.

Have you checked clutch spring tension?

Did this with the stock set up and I now have the Carpenter clutch mod with heavy springs and even the slave girdle.

But I already rebuilt my master cylinder. A while ago. And I'm pretty sure it was cleaned out. I sprayed that area out pretty good with carburetor cleaner but I didn't get pressurized and close up what if I can run a wire through there or something

Also I don't think it would that be unclogged would be the issue. Because I can leave it in second rolling around my neighborhood until I get to the main road and just turn right out still in second gear and punch it and then it does that jumping zing so I know the clutch was fully engaged then.

It is the trans OF COURSE, dog gears are shot, now I am doing a Gen 2 engine swap.

 

[Dnyce]

That’s a lot of work to just avoid a trans repair isn’t it?

Strange to see all the gears bad, the previous owner must've really beat on it.

 

[captain]

Don't do it, you will hate yourself for it later... Unless of course you are getting another one...

I was thinking dog ears, incorrect oil, it is strange that it’s all gears. Best of luck with it, make sure second gear is back cut, think about bigger output shaft unless ur staying stock.
