Clutch Slip... and

<< < (2/3) > >>

Sharpy:
Cheers Lobo,  I used a semi syth that i use in my more modern bikes, I was planning an oil change anyway and have a tin of that Halfords stuff as I used it in my BMW, will the oil have done any permanent damage?

I did not actually take the clutch plates off the bike, I did a visual inspection as best i could with the clutch still on the bike.

Thanks for the notes on adjusting it, I will start with that and the oil and go from there, if I need new plates I will drop you a note!

Thanks

Sharpy

Lobo:
Hi again Sharpy,
I'm no guru on clutches / oil, but don't think I've read anywhere that damage ever results. Pretty certain it'll all be fine.
Good luck,
Simon

If the slip can be ridden around I'd put some miles on it to see if the problem goes away.
The clutch slipped on my 550 when I first bought it after a 9 year lay up, it slipped again to a lesser extent after I had it off the road for a year.

Sharpy:
Great thanks guys, i will adjust the clutch change the oil and then get riding!  Hopefully it will get better!

I am unusually giddy about getting out on this bike....  :o

Sharpy:
Clutch adjusted and she is loads better now, might need some fine tuning but that will have to wait until she is on the road properly I think!

Cheers

Sharpy  ;D
