Clutch slipping

Hi Terry…
84 VF1000 with 45,000…
No oil conversion…
Check the following…
Headlight… check bulb, fuse and I got into “everything”…turns out it was in the Start switch…ie turns off light to start so that may help with some dielectric grease or replace.
Clutch…possible change of oil as the additive oil cause slip problems.
This beast demands 20/50 straight or synthenic oils.
Let me know if any helps out…
Eric for Lempster NH

Hi there, did you drain all the oil out to change clutch plates or tip the bike on its side a bit?
Thanks

As it was 8 years ago I would hope he has changed it a few times. :grin:
