hi guys, has anyone experienced clutch slip on a 1290 ?

the reason im asking is because im sure mine is slipping in 5th and 6th from around 7000rpm to about 9000rpm.

ive had it on a dyno to try and see if the thing im experiencing can be proven, but to my knowledge it didnt:

Comrade: It seems a bit hard to believe that it only does it in those gears and at those revs. Are you sure it is not body slip eg you sliding off the back of the bike

If it is clutch I would have thought you'd be able to provoke it in lower gears on the gas. Seriously, you're not starting to hit the rev limiter (in a minor way) are you?
