[QUOTE="Hugo Myatt, post: 53618, member: 99"] It's a common problem. Some people swear by ATF (automatic transmission fluid) although it did not make much difference with mine. Thinner oil, e.g. 20 weight probably helps but is eventually contaminated by engine oil seeping through the drive side main bearings. Just a word of warning about tieing the clutch lever back. I used to do this but found the clutch springs quickly tired causing clutch slip. Although I never start the bike on the stand (centre stand in my case) I do free the clutch whilst it's on the stand. I work the clutch lever in and out whilst applying pressure to the kickstart. This will normally free the clutch plates after a few goes. Anyone with a foolproof solution? [/QUOTE]
