[QUOTE="S76, post: 234505, member: 1349"] Not for nothing, but I don't understand the clutch plate soak thing one bit. What do they mean soak the plates? It's a freaking oil bath clutch! If it was assembled dry, it may work funky the first time out, but by then it's covered with oil and should soak itself overnight. And as far as them telling you to try the factory oil, that too is bull. I think you are dealing with a dealer that don't know nothing about nothing, which is the case with most of them. If you can't pull in the clutch, (engine off in gear), and push the bike, or if the bike clunks and creeps forward when you put it in gear, the clutch is not disengaging. Simple. You must have a problem with the hydraulic system. But then again, maybe I'm wrong. [/QUOTE]
