Stuck Clutch

[unfazed]

Pink sounds like the thin fully synthetic usually used in race bike or sports bike. Last time I used it was in an RSV1000 Mille R Factory

I would suggest you change the oil and filter and use the recommended oil 10W40 semi synthetic motorcycle specific oil.

There will be fellows on bitching about the oil they use is XXXXXXX and they never had an clutch problems  :rolleyes

When you want to solve an issue go back to basics :eek

Adjust the clutch properly and ensure the bolts on the clutch cover are all tight (10Nm is all they require)

Remove the clutch lever and check the hole as it can wear and elongate reducing the amount of leverage and not operate the clutch fully.
If the hole is elongated get a new clutch lever

Now adjust the clutch properly
Screw in the cable adjuster full at the lever end.
Remove the rubber bung on the sprocket cover
Loosen the lock nut with a deep spanner ( it will loosen with a crack and frighten the crap out of you)
Turn the lock nut anti clockwise a full turn
Hold you fingers lightly on the clutch lever
Turn the centre screw clockwise with a good fitting flat screwdriver
You will feel the lever moving out
Keep turning the screw until the lever is about 5 to 6mm from the lever housing.
Tighten the locknut.
Replace the rubber bung

Make the final fine adjustments with the cable adjuster at the lever.

The reason for asking about the pull on the lever is that heavy duty springs and very thin oil can  cause the clutch to stick.

This will get the bitchers on now again :rolleyes

To be honest I really don't care I am just recommending what to try to resolve the problem. :thumbup

Let us know how you get on.
