Re: valve adjustment, speed and mileage

When the clutch is just beginning to slip, it usually manifests itself by slipping towards the top of the power band in each gear. You'll accelerate away just fine, and as you get towards the shift point, the clucth will slip, and you'll notice the engine sounding/feeling like it's in neutral (Revving up like it's not in gear/under load). The worse the clutch gets, you'll begin to have problems getting off the line, and even to the point of puting the bike in gear, leeting off the clutch lever and it woun't stall, as it would with a good clutch.
