5th gear issue

[Jacobg1123]

I have a Talon R about 1400 miles, for the past 200ish miles 5th gear at about 4k or 5k RPM thr acceleration is weak and seems like a power loss. I rode all day Saturday in manual and have it narrowed down to that exact point. 1st through 4th no issue whatsoever no matter how many RPM. Its only 5th it happens. Any ideas before I take it to the shop?

There's nothing that would make a certain gear have "less" power than another, perhaps the clutch is slipping?

Nailed it.

Will slip in higher gears first.
1,3,5 clutch probably needs attention.

Try a relearn and see if it changes.

Here's how - (the link shows a Pioneer but the Talon uses the same procedure. This link and other Talon tips are linked in my sig if you haven't seen it).
