[QUOTE="FJRAust, post: 267734, member: 4749"] I must say I've had clutch issues on different bikes over the years but at this stage I've not had any issues with the FJR. The previous issues were generally cluch not disengaging fully or slipage and on one bike both at the same time. In the vast magjority of cases if the solution wasn't an obvious adjustment or hydralic issue it was solved by finding the correct oil for that particular bike. My old XT when running a 20W60 Pentite would both not disengage and would drag at idle and would slip over 5000RPM, I think the oil was simply too heavy, where as with 15W50 5100 Motil it was fine. I aslso tried 10W50 Castol Synth the clutch disengaged fine but would slip at high RPM in 4th and 5th gears, maybe it also had a friction modifyer in it??. The FJR is running 15W50 5100 Motul, it fine, not problems to report. [/QUOTE]
