Clutch let go for a second

[Billinjah]

sitting in traffic today just as i increased the revs from idle to pull away the storm surged forward even though the clutch was still pulled fully in, can't see any signs of a leak. Seemed fine for the rest of the day. clutch operation seems fine not grabby or anything doesn't slip either. Any ideas thanks for any help.

join the club lol.... it has happened to a few of us... mine included.
the cause is a mystery so far.... i have work to do on mine and i know tony mon is keen to find an answer to this as well.
just out of interest.... do you have an ignition advancer fitted?

anyone else who has this problem, can they confirm if they have an advancer too pls....

Check fluid level, it might be that the slave cylinder has a slight weep.
Or that the clutch basket bearing is getting tired, allowing the basket to run out of true and engage the plates a bit harder.

No advancer fitted I know of how would i check? Fluid level is fine. It's as though it lost hydraulic pressure for a second rode like a granny for rest of the day as the front wheel came off the ground when it happened!

grabby same a graunchy?
mine is bad enough that i dont accelerate till the clutch is fully engaged then i twist
takes a bit to get used to but i pull away fast enough now
i dont seem to get the graunch in any other gear just in gear 1

Yep, same.
Quite hard to describe, but you for sure notice it if your bike is affected.
As you say, you learn to ride round it easily enough.
