[QUOTE="Constant Mesh, post: 1313483, member: 615"] The grooved thrust washer on the main axle just behind the clutch boss supplies oil to the inner plates. The outer plates receive oil thrown off from the crankshaft. When you disengage the clutch and the plates separate a bit, oil from the crankshaft is introduced down into the outer plates. This oil is not affected by the centrifugal force of the rotating clutch so it can easily enter the plates -- it's being sprayed in from an external source. It's likely difficult to get oil down into the inner plates due to the centrifugal force. Maybe it's enough just to lube the friction plate tabs on the outer edge. This will help the plates slide apart a bit when the clutch lever is pulled. [/QUOTE]
