thumpstar clutch problem?

[Ndg106]

hi, thumpstar newbie - have issues with 3rd gear. it feels like the clutch is slipping and then engaging again. (almost feels like the chain is jumping but it isn't) but have heard rumours about 3rd gear with thumps. the bike has on it about 5 hours on it and no jumping (it's a hunge 10). anyone else experienced this?

oh. i have changed the oil - was full synthetic but reverted back to mineral. no luck.

thanks

Where's the best place to get new gears?

[No-Fear]

your local shop that sells thumpstars should be able to get all thumpstar parts in 4 u.

but if the thumpstar gears are weak, why would i want to replace it with more weak parts? Is there a stronger alternative?

why dont they make thoes hardend gears in the motor in the first place?

i got the whole new gear drum in my bike free of charge from my dealer, gears are strong as an ox now.
