Any thoughts on using AMSOIL in a wet clutch system?

Thinking of what I can do to help the overheating my clutch did and the ugly noises it was making at me when trying to crawl behind Kevin over the roots and rocks. Definately not a quad that is designed to crawl along like those automatic utes. It will make the obstacle, but not without a little room to wiggle. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] It stopped doing it when we took a long enough break(for Wild to splint his tierod) and is also fine today, so I don't think it's anything needing major repair yet. Clutch has less than 30 hours on it-replaced it with an EBC Heavy duty one when the motor was rebuilt.

Ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. Or something like that.

 

What weight of oil are you spinning? I have no knowledge of the Amsoil product.

 

Jayna MB says: 1040 motorcycle grade is available at Arlington RV and Welding supply. It is good stuff. Okay I am done being a secretary. HI and Good night.

 

I go out for an evening run and all that you guys can talk is about me [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Wasn't trying to ride fast yesterday, I was just hanging back with the wife and the midget [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] If you were behind me that is your fault (TP) [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

 

Currently running Castrol 1040 Synthetic. Thanks for the info bbbtats. And remember, secretaries(executive assistants)are who really get the work done. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

I'm on injured reserve. No riding till spring.

 

Try 10/40 petroleum based, built for a quad. I went through 4 or 5 oils, before the stroker clutch would work.

 

Great! 7 minutes on the trail to the house and a nice refreshing crown n sprite [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

I want to clear any misconceptions. It was Jayna's strap, and a stick (from a Tree) I found on the ground!

 

Well, I got an eye-opener. Went to Florence last week, took off on 1st ride, blew tranny out of my '01 Raptor, clear back by Center. Buddy dragged my sorry *** back to camp, took it to Florence Yamaha, and asked them if they'd stick the newer tranny in it. They were very accomodating, but it still cost me 900 bones, and I didn't get it back 'till the day we left. 2 things: Believe everybody that says the '01 tranny is crap, and wear a kidney belt when you ride a 250EX all week around dunes. BTW, I was putt-putting up the easy side of a dune in 2nd gear, talking to my buddy's daughter who was riding alongside of me, and it just suddenly locked up. All the shift dogs were broken off of 2nd gear.
