Another Clutch Issue - 06 - zx636

Wed May 17, 2006 10:48 pm

It actually feels like the clutch is starting to slip on the bike, bike has only done 3,700km's. Oil in it has done 2,700.

I'd imagine im still getting some stuff from the engine in the oil, and it looks pretty dirty in the clear oil level indicator. Can dirty oil cause clutch slippage?

I'm fairly positive the oil in it at the moment is Motul 5100 15-50w.

Or could it be poor clutch adjustment and the clutch has worn out stupidly quickly because it never disengaged fully.. Which i never noticed if it were the case. What things can i check myself before i get the shits and take it back to the stealership?

Input muchly appreciated.

By the way i should note, I haven't abused the bike, I have ridden it under hard acceleration. Never done a burnout. Haven't done wheelies.. cause i dont know how :cry: lol.. When im at the lights its either clutch completely in or im sitting in neutral.

honestly, mate, take it back straight away. Then it is their problem! Don't mess about with it, just take it in and explain the symptoms.
