Clutch is slipping

#1 PostAuthor: maak » Mon Mar 25, 2013 12:19 pm

Talking about my KZ700.Again... Is the 700's clutch interchangeable with other model's?It is slipping especially when cold.When engine warms up seems to be better but will slip at higher revs.Can it because of the oil? :roll:
Thanks!

Yes it can be the oil, don't use synthetic or modern car oil.
The clutch will be the same as a kz/z650. check cable adjustment and the adjustment under the cover on the sprocket side.
You can find the info on kz650.info

Try 10/40 mineral: there's some previous debate on the forum about which "brand" to go for, ranging from your Tesco / Halfords own label, to the posher stuff. I used Castrol ACT evo mineral - which cured the dreaded slip on my A4.
