Hello,
I hope you dont mind my first post being in response to an older thread.
I am very new to this site and also to trials in general. I have recently purchased a 76 TY175 as what I hope is the ideal beginner bike to learn on and also for childhood nostagia reasons (I still have my old 1981 YZ50 that I learnt to ride on tucked under a bench in my garage). I recently experienced what I assume is this sticky clutch syndrome after not riding the bike for a week (I started the bike up but when putting it into 1st with the clutch pulled in it jumped forward and stalled as if the clutch wasnt engaged). My question is twofold;
Firstly can I ask what gearbox oil people normally use (for when I look to change the oli)? My Haynes manual suggest SAE 10W/30 but I have seen other weights quoted elsewhere.
Secondly I also read what you said about Dexron 3 auto fluid Turbofurball and wanted to know a bit more about potentially trying this. I am UK based but can I check is this automatic transmission oil and when you said you drained and refilled the gearbox after a week did you use the Dexron 3 again (and run the bike with it in) or was that just to clean/release the clutch plates and you switched back to a regular oil after the week? Has that contnued to help?
Thank you very much for your advice.
