Sounds like you have burnt the clutch out of it. With your cable adjusted wrong you were not fully disengaging/engaging clutch and put a years worth of wear on it in one ride. Clutch may work fine now but you have glazed your clutch plates and it is just a matter of time before it goes. Do yourself a favour and replace your clutch plates and it should be good to go. The burnt smell is partial clutch, and partially from the heat you put into it by running it with improper adjustment. Don't let this discourage you, just learn from it. Good luck, and make the two stroke scream!!!!

Pull the clutch cover, and measure the thickness of the fibers. If they are still in spec, tape a sheet of 320 wet or dry sand paper to a flat surface,and lightly scuff the plates, fibers and metal.

If you do replace the fibers,make sure to soak them in a pan of the transmission oil you use in the bike for at least 30 minutes before you put them in.

What oil were you using? How was the rating of the oil on the seal?

Use the Lucas Oil 10w-40 Semi Synthetic instead of the full Synthetic. The Full may be too slick not to mention your cable adjustment was too tight....

A tip is to add 10% of the Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer to the total refill capacity (90% oil / 10% HDOS) when doing your oil changes. If not comfortable using the 10w-40 there is a 20w-50 available or even the 15w-40 TBN Diesel oil too. The HDOS will not make your Clutch slip!

We have run our bikes this way for the past 9 years with no clutch problems!

The “Synthetic Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer” may cause some slipping if too much is used. (I experienced that during our 50cc days mixing / adding with full synthetic 5wt oils).

**Replace the fiber plates (and steel if they are blue) OEM works great for both, check and make sure you have the Clutch Cable & lever play adjusted properly before you ride!**

FYI.... Two things to remember... pe-soak the fibers in oil prior to install and the steel plates have a rounded edge on one side of the plate, around the splines area where they mesh with the Clutch Hub. You should be able to feel it with your fingers. This "round side" goes down (facing the basket) when replacing the plates. Always start with the fiber first, then steel, fiber, steel... etc.

Now go out there and have fun!
