Did you do an oil change recently? Sometimes a motor cycles clutch shares the oil with the engine and a different kind of oil then the bike requires will cause the clutch to slip. This happens alot especially if someone switches to some types of synthetic oil when the bike had regular oil before the oil change.

Honda shadow clutch slipping

How many miles are on the Bike? Could be time for a clutch adjustment, or replacement. Make sure you also change the clutch springs as they wear also. Just to be safe go back to using your regular oil, I do not prefer the synthetic oil in my bike...

What type of oil best for 1997 750 honda magna and how much

Your motorcycle comes from Honda usually with 10w-40 mineral base motorcycle oil. You can use any oil that is JASO MA certified motorcycle oil. 10w-40 for cold climate. 20w-50 for warm climate/touring. Car oils use different additives and may cause scoring in certain types of cam bearings. Do not use any oil that says " Energy Conserving " on the label . It will shorten the life of your wet clutch and transmission gears. If you choose Synthetic oils, they will help your bike run cooler and shift easier. Shell Rotella T and Rotella T Synthetic 15w-40 are inexpensive JASO MA oils. You will need 4 quarts of oil, an aluminum drain plug washer, and a filter. Pour in 3.4 quarts , run the motor, and check the oil level . Top up as needed.

97 Magna 750 clutch will not engage clutch cable new and will shift to first and nuetral when off.

Shifting between neutral and first gear and back to neutral means nothing other than the slider gear dogs are lined up with first gear.

I would pull the clutch cover and see what is going on. It could be that the actuator mechanism is being held up by dirt or bad linkage. Check and see.
