400ex clutch

[cameront400]

my clutch is slipping...can i adjust it and fix this?

what oil are you running?

[cameront400]

its been doin it since i've had it but im runnin the honda gn4

oh, i was just wondering what oil because some synthetics will cause the clutch to slip

[MO-EX-RIDER]

try adjusting the lower adjustment if the top is tapped out. also remember to leave a little slack up top so it can fully dis engage!

i've been running the honda gn4 but i put the royal purple fully synthatic in it now

I never heard of that synthetic but if it isn't designed for wet clutches it will cause your clutch to slip like no other. And if you drain and put regular honda oil in it, it will probably still slip cause your plates are coated with it. You may need to get a new clutch.

it only does it when im riding and when i go to get on the gas it slips. and when i like dump the clutch it slips then also

If you have your cable and clutch arm adjusted properly and there is still slipping going on, your clutch is gone. Put her away before you put more stress on the clutch basket and other parts. With the clutch slipping it will generate more heat and could crack the basket. You're going to have to get a clutch kit. Or when you take apart your clutch you might be able to reuse the steel plates (you'll have to measure them along with the springs), but I would just get everything new... Might as well. Make sure to get new springs too and a clutch cover gasket. Good luck!

Question with the HD springs, (since I get OEM honda) did you have harder clutch pull with them? thanks!

Little stiffer not bad though. I thought it was going to be worse but is better than most aftermarket clutches.

Thanks man, yeah, I'll have to give them a try, or maybe even a juice clutch, that would be nice! I guess all it costs is $'s!
