[QUOTE="Bryan Lingard, post: 139510, member: 5003"] Hi Glen I've read so much on the multiplate clutch but your posting was the key to getting mine to work. After many tries and much thought I came to the conclusion that the clutch needs to be run wet. After researching the fluid used for wet clutches I came up with Motul Transoil 10w 30 gearbox oil wet clutch transmission fluid. I sealed the housing drain plus by taping it 1/4 BSF and fitting a screw in plug. I also drilled the side and tapped the same as an oil filling hole. I put in 40ml of the motul transmission fluid and went for a test ride. Amazing, the clutch is progressive and smooth as is gear changing. No slip up steep 1/10 hills. The bike is now a treat to use. The clutch is definitely running in oil as I left out the filling plug and started the bike. It threw oil out this hole with a vengeance. So now I know I have a wet clutch that frees well and is progressive to use. SUCCESS AT LAST. Bryan Lingard [/QUOTE]
