I would make sure that it's a slipping clutch. Have you changed the hydraulics lately? Try bleeding the line too. Another clutch option is a heavy duty spring from pcwracing.net.

Maybe you are spinning the cold tire easily before it gets a chance to warm up?

I thought my clutch was slipping too when I first bought my max.

It will slip in the higher gears before the low gears if it is going bad.

You can test it by Dumping the clutch in 5th gear, on some good pavement, while the bike is not moving.Hold the rpm's at 3500-4000 then dump the clutch.It should stall.If the clutch is weak it will slip.

BE CAREFULL! dON'T DUMP YOUR BIKE WHILE TRYING THIS!

I used to think my clutch was slipping. Till someone behind me let me know my rear was spinning on "spirited" take offs.

Plus I would try a different brand of oil. Seems the Max seems to like some oils better than others. I know mine hates Quaker State.

That's funny cowboy! I'm from PA and we all hate quaker state oil. Quaker sludge state!

Like I said,It will slip in 5th first. Not 1st gear.
