clutch problem

[thebig450es]

I just put syn. oil in my 400 by accident, i took it out for a ride and the clutches are slipping. Will my clutch be ok if i just change the oil to the wet clutch approved oil, or do i need to replace my clutch? Thanks

It should be ok if you flush it out for a while put some regular in and take it for a ride. then change it again unless it quits slipping. steve

is there a "how to " on replacing a clutch?

you shouldn't have to replace the clutch...just change to the proper oil...i use the honda hp4 without moly

if worst comes to worst take them out, clean them and soak in some non synthetic oil over night then reinstall. you dont need a new clutch if it worked fine before. Steve
