Misc: Everything Else Series 'D' Godet Egli Clutch

[Colin]

I have Partick's 2004 Stafford Show bike. It has a plate clutch which has always been run dry. It is a Kawasaki unit I believe. It has never given any trouble but occassionally in the past has squealed badly on take up. A strip and clean of the plates has always cured the squeal. Recently while preparing the bike for this year;s riding, a clean of the plates did not clear the squeal.
I seem to recall that the plates (plain and friction) can be wiped over with a lubricant to improve quiet take up. What I can't remember was which lube
What is the best, engine oil, or automatic transmission fluid, or something else?
Thanks in advance

Hi Colin, just an oily rag of cloth. With motorcycle oil. NO car engine oil

Absolutely no soaking.

Just so it ll be bit shiny in the sun.

I use m/c mineral SAE 20/50 oil in all my Vins. Is that good ?
