clutch slip

Postby WRT_GPX » Thu Aug 24, 2006 1:21 pm

hmm, the ninja has bit of slip in it at the moment, not enough to bother me since im just commuting, but ill probably look at it sooner than later. Just one question, would the pressure plates really be boned after just 40 000km? or would it just be possible the springs. Being a learner bike i still wouldnt rule out the plates :P

edit: and oh, useful info... its usually grips fine if i just just the clutch lever go completely, but if i baby the clutch back out then it starts to slip.

Worn friction plates is probably all it is. Not expensive, and could be done by someone with mechanical empathy!!! :)

just a quick thought for u, wat sort of oil r u running in it?? i find as soon as a i do a service with this Shell SX4 that it will slip a tiny bit until its had some time to wear in. its good oil tho, it still comes out clearish at 5,000kms!

Some fully synthetic oil will cause slip, try semi???

Dont be suprised (if its a "race" kit clutch pack) that the actual contact points are MUCH smaller.

what difference will that make? anything to the functioning of it? or would it just wear quicker than an OEM cluch?
