ricklev Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 My Honda Wave semi-atomatic with centrifigual clutch (I guess) seems to be slipping when it is under load (two people - heavy acceleration) Seems to be getting worse and sometimes it does it when its hot and I'm alone on the bike. I have about 11K on the bike. Is there some adjustment that needs to be made and/or should have been made during normal maintenance or is this a transmission repair issue? Anybody know the Thai phrase that describes a slipping clutch? It's somewhat intermittant so I might not be able to have them feel it. Thanks.

Fantasteak Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 (edited) Try " Clutch sliperly" doing a reving motion with your wrist and and make a chugging farty noise. Glad to be of help. Edited April 8, 2008 by Fantasteak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridian007 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Well, according to www.thai2english.com the word "clutch" is written as คลัตช์ and is pronounced as "klát" and broken is "ha`k" (if I remember correctly). Miming seems to work well too, but can be confusing. Good luck! I think it would be a good idea for all of us on this forum to make a list of all the vocabulary for machines/mechanics. Does anyone know some? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macx Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Well, you could just hand him the key. Any half competent mechanic should have that figured out in a few seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgjackson69 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Well, you could just hand him the key. Any half competent mechanic should have that figured out in a few seconds. Ahhhh....but there is the rub, right there! Or, you could just adjust it yourself. I am not sure about the wave in particular, but most bikes that I have seen with the automatic clutch, the adjustment is very simple and easily accessible.
