I changed the oil in my Warrior last night and today when I'm moving it around in the drive it seems to wanna creep with the clutch pulled in, especially in Reverse. It almost died when I pulled the clutch and hit the brakes while backing up. The shifter also seems sticky too.....like the clutch isn't all the way disengaged.

I put in Valvoline ATV 10W40. Anyone know what may be causing this? What was the diff in the old oil I dropped and the new oil?

Thanks,

ride around then see how it feels ..

 

somewhat similar problem with my 2000 Warrior. I put 10W40 in when it calls for 10W30 in the manual for the temperature i ride in. But with mine it always used to creep in reverse so I don't really see any problem there, because the clutch disengages fully in the first inch of pull on the lever. However when i get it up in 4th through 6th, and running her up about half to 3/4 throttle, the clutch slips a bit and grabs again, then might slip again if i dont get out of the gas. Im going to change the oil back to 10W30 and grab every gear up til about 3/4 throttle and see if i feel the bike launch like it used to without clutch slippage. Id say ride it like it is once youve warmed it up and get into that 4th to 6th window and see what happens. If the clutch slips Id say try my theory, hopefully it fixes both of our problems.
