I just gave it a try in 3rd gear on the street by dumping the clutch because i was riding next to a friend with a DRZ400s and he tried a 3rd gear wheelie, couldn't do it so i tried to show him up. Surprise was on me.
Also i use Kawi oil and just did an oil change as well.

In this post it sounds as if you had no issues until you tried to dump the clutch in third gear. "Surprise was on me"

could it be heat related???

This post does not clarify anything as far as your clutch connecting or slipping.

Page 2 post number 12.
I don't mean to sound rude, but usually when reading a post and starting from the beginning, you avoid asking questions that have been asked already, or making a statement that has been addressed. I know this because i have done it in the past myself.
My apologies if i offended you but the question you asked was already clarified.

Sorry, my apologies, I didn't notice your post on page twelve, don't know how I missed it cause I went back over the thread to see if you had posted earlier, must have zipped right by it.

So, it looks as if there is an issue with the added power and the stock clutch. I think if I tried to drop the clutch in third with my 09, it would just stall, or bog horribly.
