[QUOTE="Boit, post: 88930, member: 19734"] I hope you changed your oil often. 4-strokes seem to much harder on clutch plates than 2-strokes. Probably, this depends more on the rider than the bike. If you tend to slip the clutch accelerating out of corners...change your oil more often. At any rate, contaminated oil is pumped up to the cams and accelerates wear when clutch particles are present in the oil. As far as clutch chatter goes, I received some excellent advice from a fellow thumpertalk guy who said to pull in the clutch lever for several seconds before using the clutch. This allows oil to get between the plates and decreases the grabbiness. It works. When you start your engine on the starting line...pull in the lever while you wait for the board to go sideways. There should be no grabbiness when you feather it off the line. What I meant about 4-strokes being harder on clutch plates is that if you use your clutch like a 2-stroke...the clutch seems to go away quicker. [/QUOTE]
