Just did an oil change with kawasaki 10-40 the other day, and when I run hard through first and click to second and hammer on it my clutch is slipping for a second then grabs.. but it didn't do it before I changed my oil... Idk if its the oil I'm running or if the clutch is worn.. help please?
The bike is a 94

 

Are you using synthetic,semi synthetic or just regular oil,also
how many clicks on the clutch,did you run it the same way,
before and after the oil change.I know that some oils from
different manufactures react differently with these clutches.

 

Here is the problem kawasaki 10-40 . Just kidding of course. I don't think it would be a oil problem.

 

I ran it the same way a few times and it wasn't a problem. And what do u mean about clicks on the clutch? I was just talking about shifting... what oils do you guys use?

 

And the bottle doesn't say synthetic... or anything Idk why it would change after an oil change it don't make sense to me..

 

Is the slipping more apparent before the engine reaches operating temperature?

 

nope normal operating temp. i dont run it hard til shes all warmed up... :P

 

Ditch the oil, put some Rotella T 15/40 in her and let it wear off the Kawasaki branded
stuff ..... should stop slipping after 50 miles ...... that branded oil could be anything

IMO

 

Yeah I used to run rotella t in my dirt bike... thanks sprock I love your dedication to this forum!!! But before I bought it it (oil) I asked the guy he has a f4i and that's what he runs so I gave it a shot.. guess I wasted 28$ ill change it this weekend I hate working out of town and bein away from my ol lady

 

+1 on Rotella, I use the synthetic.
