hi all, hope everyone had a great bank holiday, i did! anyway, ive got a p125x mk1, and in 1st, 2nd and 3rd its great, but in 4th the engine sounds like its screaming but its only doing 45mph!! the slightest bit of a breeze against me makes it even worse!! its completely standard and ive just ran in a new piston, before the piston, i was getting a slow but happy 58mph from her. what have i done wrong?? ideas?? thanks

Major?
No mate that was Dai Ranson. I didn't do the egg run, other things on.
Anyway back to the clutch.................
It stil sounds like clutch slip to me, especially now you've said that you've changed the plates.
To be honest it probably is slipping slightly through all the gears but you'd only really notice in top.
How much free play do you have on the lever before the clutch starts to disengage.......... how long did you soak the new plates for? You may have just overadjusted the cable causing the slip or your plates may just be a bit dry.
