hey guys - so i assumed i was getting gear oil (80-90w) migrating through the pushrod and over-lubricating the plates in the clutch causing a bit of pull while in gear with the lever pulled in....so i ordered dyno daves seal....
was just about to put it in when i opened up the case and pulled the plates only to find that the friction plates had actually disintegrated into a fine powder....
wtf?!
there was no oil at all in the basket or on the plates, and am scratching my head to figure why this would have happened...its a new build and i had pulled and cleaned and then lightly ;lubed the plates prior to the re-install...figured i had done everything properly...but im thinking i must have left something key out....figuring i will order a set of barnett plates as opposed to factory...good plan? ...just dont want this to happen again... the clutch is supposed to be dry right? so what could have caused this? i had only put about 50km on it since repacking it.....
