I FINALLY got to drive the ATC200 --- searched history/manual to get it going.... THANKS to archives.

QUESTION - SPEED/CLUTCH/TRANNY
I weigh in about 200. It seemed as if the bike would barely move in lower gears... It really didn't have issues driving up to about 30mph at some gears... could go from a dead stop to 30 without shifting.

Is this normal?

Periodically the Tranny would CLUNK -- is this normal? It was a lower-pitched clunk -- not the higher pitch my road bikes had.

Thanks for the smarts.

sounds like either your clutch is slipping.. or you are missing 1st and 2nd or something.


ouch.
