Thermiteguy, in my case it appears to be an issue with the auto-clutch mechanism, even though previously I wasn't experiencing any issue with it or having this problem at all.

Nate: It's not the battery its got full voltage and everything is good there. Like mentioned it really appears to be a mechanical issue with the clutch.

When I press on the shifter to put it in gear it goes straight into gear instead of engaging the clutch (it should put it in gear when I lift off the shifter). When its in gear and I'm letting it idle I can occasionally feel it pulse or briefly pull the bike forwards (tiny amount, fraction of an inch) before it settles back to where it was. Now if I put it in low range it exhibits the same symptoms but not as drastically and I can actually get it moving around under its own power if I really ease the throttle on. But it seems as if when I get on the throttle something is grabbing and bogging down the engine. image

Glock, it's good to hear you got your bikes sorted out, barring ol' yeller, and that you'll be keeping Barney (I guess I'm a little partial to that bike). image But I do recommend the use of the enter button for your next big post, that last one was a test in my reading abilities. image
