I've done a conversion, 250X frame, w/350X motor. All Stock.
:devil
Question is, I had issues with clutch slippage. This is a crate motor, had a yellow jelly substance inside it when I got it. Was told it's rosilene and that's what keeps the cylinder and such from rusting... ok, I just took that with a grain of salt, but here's my dilemma.
My clutch slips, as if I'm feathering the clutch when I let it out...
I took it apart to examine the plates, no shiny marks, the metal plates were not marred, or scarred. Everything looks fine, except that there were plates that were dry... absolutely dry, while others were wet.
I noticed this, the outside plates(closest to cover) are wet, while the insides (motorside) are dry.
This motor has 4 hours on it, I've put them all on it, for breakin, it's never been over 4th gear, never over 4k RPM or so, and I'm trying not to worry, but have been told that if the clutch is slipping on a brand new motor, it needs to get hot and get hot oil in the places where the "rosiline" was to get it out....
Sorry for the extremely long post, but I'm not a clutch person, I just turn wrenches and ride.... this has become a GREAT conversion... I've heard it'll smoke a 400ex, and I'm anxious to find out....
Anyone with any help, suggestions, opinions, advice, I do thank you in advance.
