[QUOTE="fatcaaat, post: 202316, member: 1656"] Well, of course another (minor) issue. Clutches slip above 8k. This is an easy fix but shows that the job is not quite done. TOok the engine out for the 20 mile loop and after getting it good and warm I started hammering it a bit, because...why not I thought? Well, once you get it above 8k in top gear, the clutches slip. I currently have 4 original trx90 clutch plates in it with two HD springs. I guess I'll reconfigure it to both HD springs and maybe 5 clutches...not sure I want to use my fancy 5-clutch setup on this or not as it was spare for my big 176cc motor but if it doesn't slip in that, it shouldn't slip in this. Btw, i'm using Rotella T4 15-40 like I use in every one of my bikes. It's 93 degrees ambient temp today and the dipstick never exceeded 102C so I'm quite pleased with that as well. I think if the clutches slip it will overheat the oil so best I address it. Good thing is that the way this bike is setup is that I can be under the clutch cover in about 5 min or less and i'll just lean it right over on the side so I don't lose any oil. [/QUOTE]
