[QUOTE="RichardM, post: 17790, member: 17858"] I want to reflect on my 426 problem. It does seem to me that the clutch is defiantly not getting enough oil. After looking at Hinsons literature, one of the features the mention is better oil flow. This could be the reason why the Hinson clutch basket resolves the problem on my friends bike. I am going to try to get Yamaha to fix this problem first, I am finding more people are having this problem locally. I have been asking around to see if others with 426 have this problem. Some are already out of warr so they just accept it. I am finding that more vets and older guys who are not as hard on the clutch buy these things and not as many of the young clutch abusers. This is only an observation but may explain why some don't report it or don't ride the bike long enough during the warr period to figure it out. I may have to buy a new clutch basket but that would put a big negative mark on Yamaha reliability in my book they should buy it. I will just have to see if they take care of the problem. I am curious as to why everyone does not see the problem. Some people on the DRN said they have not seen it and it makes me wonder what is different about their bikes. I bought some Mobil1 to test but have not put it in yet. Another person on DRN states it causes the clutch to slip on a 400. I would welcome more lubrication I would think in my situation so I may try this if Yamaha has no fix. [/QUOTE]
