Clutch slipping?

got some oil bought for me asked for bike oil.. friend came back with car oil "guy said itll be fine"..


meh put it in anyway still slipping.. too poor to buy bike oil at the moment so i cant tell if it was that till i get new oil.

Car Oil often has friction modifiers to protect the metal components in the engine - this stuff tends to ruin a wet clutch as it relies on friction to function correctly. This is why you get Motorcycle specific oils as a majority of motorcycles have wet clutches.

Imho, the car oil you added is definitely the cause of your clutch issues. Hopefully the plates are still usable but I'd strip down the clutch and clean the plates up thoroughly and try with new motorcycle oil. Unfortunately some times the damage is already done and it means new clutch plates...
