andrew3160 Posted April 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 try type f. I know on my shee as i rev it up it will rock a very tiny amount, but explain to me what your creeping means. Jolts forward when I have the clutch in and drop it into first. Then if i rev it up with the clutch in while it is in first it will start moving. clutch is within spec, seems like the clutch disks stick together. Thats why I am wondering fluid now????

papa_smurf49319 Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 ya id try type f. Or a thinner oil, also if your bike sits for a LONG time the clutches sometimes will become sticky but should go away after a short ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papa_smurf49319 Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 I just get the cheap castrol atf type f from advanced or autozone. But guys run walmart brand to, your going to need to change it often though, thats for every type f fluid not just walmart brand.

White97Banshee Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 x2 my atf-f turns black QUICK but it's just so cheap I can't resist. I can definitely feel it shifting worse by the end of the trip when I take it to the dunes for a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papa_smurf49319 Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 i havnt ran it long enough to tell, but all the builders ive spoke with recommend it, and its the general concensis on here. Also mines seemed to do just fine with it for the little time ive been able to ride mine. Cody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White97Banshee Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Just as safe though? On a 4 day trip to the dunes by the time I get the bike home and drain it it's black as night and stinks real bad so probably no longer than that (also I ride all day every day) so yeah it's just as safe. Just make sure you don't push it. I should even be changing it halfway through the trip considering it's only $5 to do it and I can get the stuff anywhere. I run the walmart brand at only $2.50 per quart so it doesn't really matter what you run it's all the same in the bottle the label's just a little different ya know?

camatv Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 i wouldnt recomend type f on a bike thats ridden that much in a drag bike that see's a track and then gets the oil changed after a race maybe. BUT you should be able to have your local auto parts store order castrol 4T motor cycle oil/. its more made to work in the trans and its motor cycle specific. it will last a LOT longer it only costs me 3.99,, and if your fluid is blacking out and stinky your over heating the clutch or the transmission. you better try a different fluid. bet you will notice it lasts a LOT longer.. go to your local hardware store and look for a small rubber snap in plug then buy the hole saw that it fits into and you can cut the hole for your adjuster.. if you use the cascade cover with the o-ring i would put a small drain hole in the cover lower than the adj hole sio the fluid can drain back into the bottom end.. the lil rubber snap in plug works with any cover...

andrew3160 Posted April 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 I tried the ATF-F and it didnt make a damn bit of difference. I am wondering if my clutch plates are warped. The thing still lunges forward when I shift into first with the clutch in and will move forward with the clutch in when I rev it up???? Any thoughts? It is rideable but a huge pain in the ass.
