Riding around on my 2016 thruxton r today (5900 km/3600 miles) and the first half of the ride is going great, no problems. then i get stuck in stop and go traffic, every time i go to accelerate the engine revs up faster than the bike accelerates. Ive never had this problem before, so when I get home I do a little research and people have had similar problems (but on older bikes) it being a slipping clutch. Id understand if the bike were older, but ive only had it for a year now and with low milage i feel its a little premature. oil level is right in the middle of the sight glass.
then i did more searching and found the clutch cable can get gummed up and stick inside the housing. is this more likely being a newish bike over a slipping clutch?
How is the difficulty in cleaning/lubing the cable? or does it sound like a slipping clutch?
