did you check the clutch/clutchbell i would start there its probably either oily due too running too rich or the clutch is worn or both pull the cb clean it and the clutch with some degreaser and then scuff the inside of the cb as well as the outside of the clutch with some sand paper


I'd start using punctuation, some helpful members start ignoring posts that are run on sentences. Plus it's in the forum rules.

You don't have to pull anything to check the slipper clutch, it's adjusted by tightening/loosening the nut on your spur.

You don’t have to take it apart, tighten the nut in front of the spring on the spur gear.
If after you tighten it, it runs ok you will know it was a loose slipper and then you can adjust it properly if you didn’t already wear out the friction pegs/melt to spur.

its not the slipper clutch. i tightned it and the clutch still slips i am pretty confident it is somewhere else. so i have to remove the other clutch and take a look.

Is the slipper clutch still slipping? If it slipped for too long, it may have melted the friction pegs and once they're done, you can't get it tight enough to not slip. If the slipper isn't slipping after tightening it down, then I'd check the clutch/cb.

If its not either clutch, take apart your transmission, there might be a worn out bearing causing it to not deliver power poporerly, or maybe one of you gears it worn down to a nub in the transmission......do you know what the gears are made of?

i took the body off and watched the gears move when it slips the spur gear doesn't move

And that's with the slipper tightened down? If so, you need to check your slipper, the pads are either worn or covered in oil.
