trueraiderfan Posted August 9, 2006 Report Posted August 9, 2006 (edited) Ok guys my shee is running great besides my carbs are leking a lil bit but im gunna get some 35's here b4 too long so im not too worried about that. But I think I might need a new clutch set. What happens is after i have been riding for a lil while it feels like something is vibrating and not grabing and i can let off the gass and get back on it and it grabs and goes not all the time but sometime's. and other times i have to down shift to get it to quite (sp) I just wanted to see if it was my clutche's and not the tranny. also i checked my oil and it was like silver so that is another reason i thought it was like that too and it only has probably 10 hours on the oil too. oh ps thanks for any replies.

It sounds like the clutch IS slipping. Make sure the cable is not too tight. As far as the oil, it sounds like you may have a little antifreeze in it. It would be like milk if you had a lot of water in the case, though. Quote
trueraiderfan Posted August 9, 2006 Author Report Posted August 9, 2006 how do you think that there is antifreeze in it? And is that a prolbem or what how do i fix it. Quote
dawarriorman Posted August 9, 2006 Report Posted August 9, 2006 Taking it on pavement is the easiest way to tell. It will rev up, without accelerating, pause, and then the revs will drop off slightly and you should feel it hook up. Quote
Animalman294 Posted August 9, 2006 Report Posted August 9, 2006 dawarrior is right on the clutch slipping thing and the pavement. You will know right away. The silver oil sounds to me like you may have aluminum or metal flakes from wearing parts. If it were antifreeze the oil would be a milky white as stated above. Good luck man.............. :beer: Quote

dawarriorman Posted August 9, 2006 Report Posted August 9, 2006 wearing parts as in my clutches right? not anything serious though?right? Shimmering oil isn't as bad a thing to find as pieces of metal. Although they generally both come together. Change the clutch, and if you don't find any metal shavings then I wouldn't tear it down just yet. Ride a little with the new clutch, and then check the oil again. If theres a lot of metal in the oil I would tear it down. Im tearing mine down shortly because Im starting to find shavings in the oil. It started off with just shiny oil like your talking. Magnetic drain plug is a good thing to have too. Only 10 bucks or so. Quote
trueraiderfan Posted August 9, 2006 Author Report Posted August 9, 2006 Cool man. Thanks for the advice. Also my motor only has 10 hours on it after just being rebuilt (the whole thing) could that have anything to do with it? i mean have anything to do with the extra silver oil. I was just thinking it might be from breaking in. Quote
Animalman294 Posted August 10, 2006 Report Posted August 10, 2006 Yes that could definately add to the silver factor, but replace the clutch and then check the oil again and see where its at............ :beer: Quote

I was just thinking it might be from breaking in. Yeah, new gears have to wear in. You notice when you buy a new four stroke (cars included) you get that shimmer when you first change the oil. Thats just the imperfections in the metal breaking off and smoothing the metal out. As long as it doesn't keep doing it, and you don't find any shavings you're fine. Quote
