Re: Changing Oil - choosing the right oil

I have never tried synth. in bike, always felt it could effect the clutch, it lubricates so well, would think clutch would tend to slip but IDK

IMO the Barnett clutches are great...The springs are super heavy compared to stock, will make hand tired for a few months at beginning of season, if you guys want to tighten clutch without HD springs, Old school trick is to use an extra washer on the bolts that hold spring on, I have used this mod a...
