ok so im learning to clutch it up.. and it looks like im burning my clutch up? which from what i read is not normal..

I went out a few times last year and had no troubles with it..
but since i got back on my bike this year each time i go out after about half an hour my clutch gets sloppy and i have to adjust the cable out..

so ive been out 4 times so far this year and im out of adjustment..

Im new so i figured i am riding the clutch alittle but from what ive read clutchs normally last a while...

I recently changed over from penzoil 10/40 miniral to motul 10/40 semi sinthetic.. could the oil be the problem.. i figured going to a semi sinthetic would help..

If anything semi or full synthetics definetly help, they make shifting way smooth. I like to say it's like shifting thru butter. How many miles do you have on it? (the clutch) You might have killed it thou. I suggest putting in new friction plates, cheaper than the whole clutch. Also do not go back to straight dinosaur oil, stick with semi or full syn. Castrol R4 is a dope full synthetic.

hey hey
yeah i cant really see upgrading my oil being a problem.. but the bike was run on mineral oil before i bought it..

I think i just have to get a manual and finally go into my motor.. hopefully ill figure out how to shift my weight better once i get a new clutch and hopefully not blow it out right away

its probably just time for a new clutch. do you have alot of miles on her?

new clutch time buddy
real easy to do just get the friction plats like gsxrjen said and do it
download a pdf manual, that might help too

adjust the primary clutch adjustment and not just the cable at the lever!

yeah ive done that.. its out of cable there.. honestly i think im burning it up just from letting it get too hot.. i got alittle clutch left so im going to take it easy on it and see how things go
but i think im putting those plates on order
