k
so i used mobil 1 and i believe it was the wrong stuff ( maybe an additive) . so now when i wind it up in 4th gear ( and 5th and 6th) it slipps then grabs.
the bike has 13 k on it , i never wheelied it too much ( 15 - 3 gear , from first)( type wheelie) , really not too bad
the bike spends a very good portion of its life @ 140 mph.
the question :
being that i allready know im going to have to replace my clutch --- should i go and dump a can of "prolong" or some other " slik" ( in more than one way ) type of oil in the bike? , drive it around and then replace the clutch?
next question:
are there clutches that can operate in " a funny oil enviroment"?
like aftermarket clutches ( names or brands please)
do i have to buy a complete gasket kit to get a clutch cover gasket?
is replacing the clutch as straight foward as i might think it is ( pop cover (with the greatest of care as not to damage the gasket ) , remove top of basket , replace discs with new discs ( and springs ) , stick it together ( minding excact tourqe specs for every bolt touched )? - or more diabolical ( like the bolts have to be tourqed on the second full moon)
thanx any input or thoughts would be great
