It should not be doing that, you are having some type of clutch problem. I would take it back to the dealer and tell them what it is doing. It is still under warranty right?

Did you buy it new? Sounds like a wet Clutch problem. I know some people would remove the wet clutch for more performance and just go with a dry clutch, and would lose the engine braking.

and FLY!!

I would kill for a dry clutch - if it werent for losing so much engine braking... or the $$$$ 9notice the 4 $ signs - thats right - 4 digits upgrade)

no way that lil bit of water and oulling did belt damage.... (just imo)

unless the clutch somehow got wet...

I think you have a clutch issue.
