: Andy,
:
: Motorcycle oil is totally different to car
: oil and has many additives in it for the WET
: multi plate clutch.
: If you leave a bike for prolonged periods,
: the clutch plates often stick together.
:
: Start your engine and let it run until full
: running temp (abouit 15 mins).
: Next pull the clutch in, and make sure your
: FRONT brake is fully applied and take the
: revs upto about 3000 revs, then quickly
: press into first gear keeping the clutch
: fully in.
: Dont worry if it makes a bit of a
: "clunk" thats just the plates
: separating.
: Give the bike a good run (as if you need an
: excuse!!!).
:
: This is common to most wet clutch bikes.
