tore apart my clutch tonight and the springs and steels are in good shape 2 of the steels have verry small heat spots on them but other than that there in good shape but the clutch plates are toast so im replacing them but i am on a budget can anyone tell me what is the best clutch thats not too expencive and i also read on here that some of you use rotella for oil how good does that work on our motors it is a heavy oil isnt it?

anyway any info would be helpfull
thanks james

 

I bought a set of plates on e-Bay - they've worked well for me for the last 25000 miles- about $60 I think. Rotella T is a 10w40 oil. Rotella is made for diesel engines,(I think) but works well in our bikes.

 

When I replaced my clutch I went with a Goodrich kit (plates and springs). Not too dear, since I'm not drag racing, and hasn't slipped once in many kms. Oils are an ongoing topic here so try the search tab for more info than it's natural to want.
