You try adjusting your current spring?

Didnt know there was an adjustment. I had just figured my spring was starting to get weak since it seems to slowly be shifting faster and faster.

Yeah look in the service manual it shows how to adjust it.

One of the first things you do when you service the driven is to release the spring tension then you have to reset the tension after you service it, their is different locations where you can hook the spring to set the tension, I had this all documented on Pilot-Odyssey.com but since Kiowa has screwed us its gone!

If its noticeable over a short period of time I would suspect something is working easier than before perhaps something was rusted now worn back in and moving freely?

it used to be perfect, maybe slightly flast to upshift but ran great. now it seems that somthing is up. there is a big open field i was riding in this weekend with a slight incline, it would hit a certain point on the gearing that it would jist not pull the rest of the rpms. coming back down the slight grade it eventually would reach full rpms. i think the Engine is running fine, its the clutching. its not lile the enine is loading up either. plugs look good, maybe slightly rich but id rather be a bit rich than lean. its just a certain point in the range it just will no longer pull.

i don't think it would be rust, been running it for a good year with the clutch as it is. could the spring have slipped out of adjustment and backed some preload off?
