    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Dragging clutch

Hi everybody, I need opinions on something. When I first got my 850 running, the clutch work fine. I changed the oil and filter, then the clutch is dragging only when cold. I found out from the PO that he used full synthetic oil in it. I am using dino oil. If I remove the clutch plates and cleaned them, do you all think that would help?? Thanks, Mark
 
I run full synthetic 5w40 in mine and get no dragging even in the coldest weather. A dino 15w40 could cause some drag at colder temperatures but I doubt it is that cold where you live. Your best bet is a synthetic or dino diesel oil. Don't use anything that is marked " energy conserving".

What weight oil are you using?

I'm using Castrol 10W40. But when I change oil again, I'm going to Rotella T 15W40.
 
How much clutch free play at the lever? If you have a lot, tighten the clutch cable. If that doesn't work, the clutch plates may be warped.
