[QUOTE="mikeames, post: 1316567, member: 88832"] Road it 60 miles today with zero shifting issues after the clutch soak. I did pull the short clutch rod out and lube it while I had the clutch apart...and I supposed that could have some effect on this problem but I didn't see anything wrong with the rod. Clutch soak seems like an odd fix for these symptoms, but that seams to have been the culprit. Now I'm wondering how long this soaking will last. I found some of the disks were actually bone dry. No oil on them at all. They actually had a slight bit of clutch powder on them. Just doesn't seem like what should be a wet clutch should be so dry and have the plates look so different between each other. Hope this and more frequent riding than the PO cures it for good. Time will tell I guess. [/QUOTE]
