Re: Clutch diagnosis? ??

Could the chain be catching the release arm? Have you got that on right or has it moved too far round?

Re: Clutch diagnosis? ??

You can use semi or fully synth but it must be a bike type oil. I don't think dipping the plates in normal stuff would cause a problem. It used to be said that it wasn't a good idea using full synthetic in an old engine as it can work its way past the rings more easily.

Re: Clutch diagnosis? ??

Make sure you are using a bike oil? Bike oil is designed for wet clutches and Car oil is too slippy(not the correct technical term). The only other thing would be the springs going soft.
