    I tried adjusting everything in every way, not good.

    Oil is relatively new.

    What oil would you suggest ?

    Not a car oil. The short answer You need one that doesn't mess with the wet clutch so a motorcycle specific oil.

    Yea the thing is I bought the bike off a bloke who had already done the oil change service n that.

    I wanted to do a full service on it and was just going to change the clutch while i had the bike prepped for it.

    If it does have **** oil in it I'm already ****** coz the residue would still be there.

    But I may try it with 300V Motul.

    No worries, just thought 300v is like top of the line but a bit over the top, not gona race it just yet so 5100 would probably the go, i did use the same stuff for my R15 and it goes ok.

    put a few washers behind the clutch springs for now if on a budget...

    another option is to buy a 250 Balius clutch from Kwakka with new springs, all 5 fibre plates and all 8 steel plates.- will be far more expensive at approx $260 (but you will have it in a day)

    big fan of EBC gear, tried and tested and i never had dramas, normally around the same as oem prices maybe a bit cheaper but far better quality.

    I have been researching a bit, can't find many reviews on it, but the supplier from NZ looks to be alright.
    Low postage price is a good incentive too; suppose quick delivery from NZ also.
