A bit of a problem I have noticed in the last few days, while on a riding trip.
When I start the bike in the mornings and pull off the clutch seems to do a slip/grab/slip/grab type of thing, with an acompanying vibration or noise.
It's hard to catch as it disappears almost immediately.
I did top up with 5W40 synthetic car oil a few days before that - maybe that's it, but why?
Why slip when cold and dry but not when hot and wet?
And what oil to use for a top-up, in the middle of nowhere?
