    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Would running 10w30 rather than the recommended 10w40 contribute to a mildly slipping clutch? The reason I ask is I was running 20w50 before and it made the clutch stick.
Thanks.
 
OK, here we go with the Energy Conserving, friction modifier, molybdenum disulphide thing.

Real world... I'd say, no. The 10/30 is going to be rated an energy conserving oil, but from my experience it will not cause clutch slip. Old springs and abused plates are more likely to be the culprit.
 
Thanks for the quick response Jim. I'm heading on my first few hundred miler tomorrow and was hoping that would help.
 
I ran 10w30 Castrol exclusively in my 8 second drag bike for years with no issues. It should be fine.....Dont forget to pack some sammiches for the road.......BadBillyB
