Seafoam in oil to de-glaze clutch? 5 Months, 2 Weeks ago
|
|
Thinking of adding Seafoam in oil to help deglaze clutch that is slightly slipping when cranking on engine passing on highway. anyone use it with success? Apparently safe for wet clutches when added to oil then flush. Thanks.

It's safe for your oil but it won't deglaze your clutch plates. If your clutch is starting to slip then you need to replace the plates. And me personally I would put a barnett spring in it and never worry about it again

Either, no free play in the clutch cable or weak pressure plate spring.
Address it before you cook the whole works.

I have a new EBC I ordered a while back still in the package. Should I toss it and get a barnett? Thanks

Use it. They are a good spring.
Now, if you like to launch hard all the time, then.....

If you are putting it in your 108 I'd get the barnett

The guy who sold me the 2003 108 was wise and put the Barnett in it. That bike, due to the extra torque and HSR 42 is twitchy and less forgiving than the stock 1700. When that Barnett grabs, it's great for power launches.
My humble 2006 stock 1700 will get the EBC. Thanks for the advice as I would hate to have change the entire clutch. It only slips when hammering it in higher gears. I have now changed my riding style thus no slippage. I will check the plates when it is disassembled this winter. My parking lot police wanna be, practice every week has taken its toll on the old doll. I am surprised it held up this long for the abuse I keep putting it through.
I need to slow down but I find the speed limit painfully slow. It is a good discipline to stay with the flow of vehicles.
