08 rancher 420 clutch adjustment
hey gang,
Diving the machine today and it seems like the clutch is "slipping" when going up a hill. I had the feeling the rear wheels were spinning based on the rps, however, they weren't breaking loose. Is their a clutch adjustment that can be done by a guy who not OVERLY mechanically inclined? Thanks in advance.

The clutch adjustment procedure is in your owner's manual, and it is very simple. Do it on a cold engine!
What oil are you running???? If you are running a "car" oil, it will contain friction modifiers that can cause a wet clutch to slip. Look for a motorcycle specific oil that is API SG/JASO MA....
