Hi everyone. I’ve started to experience some minor clutch slipping on my CL350 when I change up a gear and rev hard, usually in 2nd. It happens when I first start the engine and ride for a few miles, but eventually disappears when the engine has run for a while and warmed up.
The bike has a set of straight bars and the P.O. made a bit of a pig’s ear with the cables, so my first thought was whether the cable was being pulled when the bike turned, or not releasing fully when I let go of the handle, but i’m fairly convinced it’s not that, as it only happens When riding the bike cold and can occur when riding straight.
I have also recently changed the oil. The bike had no clutch slippage when I first bought it a few months ago. I changed the oil not long ago as part of my new bike routine, but I used the oil David Silvers recommends listed on his website - Liquid Moly Mineral 10w 40.
Not sure what to do. Don’t want to go buying more oil, as it may still slip, but replacing the springs may be unecessary too? Any thoughts? Thanks for any advice!
