johnnyboxer Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Good evening During this hot weather at a Trial, the clutch is sticking/dragging a bit and hard to find neutral, at sections New bike - 3 trials use only Thinking of changing the oil How about using super expensive Elf HTX740, as I use in my 4RT clutch, will this make it drag less and improve things?

huski Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Be a good idea to change the oil now the bikes run in anyway.If you've already got the oil you mention try it,you've nothing to lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan williams Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Dressing the fiber tabs is still worth the effort even on the new bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would certainly take those expectations , and your “super-expensive” oil - and apply them to your new purchase. Whatever clutch plates Honda put in the bike in 2007 when it was new, never had any bother using Elf 740 and clutch works fine in 4RT - why change the plates? Never had them out in 10 years+ My 4RT runs like a swiss watch, shame yours doesn't Edited July 3, 2018 by johnnyboxer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
