Run Team-PAMI HD clutch springs to avoid problems.

I'm curious if any has ever had a CONFIRMED clutch slippage due to the use of synthetics???

My Banshee manual states not to use oils that are rated as "Energy Conserving" because they contain additives which could cause the clutch to slip. I have always used automotive oils which are "energy Conserving" rated and not noticed clutch slippage. Also, I have used synthetics in street bikes and my Warrior with no problems. I am a firm believer in the advantages of synthetic oils.

The HD clutch springs are a good idea, by the way.
