every now and again i get what appears to me as belt slip... feels like i get a short loss of power then a quick jerk then its normal... doesnt feel like clutch slip as you wouldnt get the jerk with the clutch slip. i have a cb360 and the clutch slips until its warmed up, totally different. the belt has ~7k mi on it... should i replace it? |

Belt slip is very, very, very unlikely and if it did slip, it would certainly need replacing (but it would've broken already). Its more likely a common problem thats either fixed with a comprehensive clutch adjustment or transmission repair. This usually happens only when its cold (not warmed up) right? |

yes cold but also 90-100 degrees outside... I've adjusted the primary recently (loosened) maybe I should tighten it a tad |

Try adjusting the clutch at the primary. EZ |

No, you have to remove the small clutch cover to do the adjustment. Cold=cold engine, regardless of outside temperature. Adjust the primary per recommendations here (I dont know if thats what you meant). |

It's clutch slip! Mine gets better after changing the transmission oil. |
