Ahh lol cool, I think this is when I was asking the observer of where to go as I was pretty confused about the ditch lol. Thanks, was nice!

well this became a bit of a thing for me when i got my bike which is a 2011 raga 300. I bought the bike and it had fresh castrol atf fluid in it. and the clutch was so progressive I was struggling like mad, to the point where the bike nearly went up for sale after a month. I did a bit of searching and changed the levers to bendy ones to give me more adjustment and I changed the oil. I run 400ml of putoline gp10 and it has transformed the bike and clutch feel. its the lightest oil putoline do I believe and I change it every 3 or 4 rides. if your not going to change it so often then run more oil. I also found out that atf fluid can cause the clutch plates to swell in gassers which will take them out of tolerance and change the clutches characteristics and feel.

When you say "progressive" I want to make sure We agree on what that term is describing? To me this means that I can slip the clutch a lot more, with careful finger movement can change how much the clutch is slipping. this is great (IMHO) for most of us, non expert/master/pro riders that actually make turns, instead of hopping.

The opposite of this is, for example when I used (SOrry Im from USA, so maybe you cant/havent tried) Automatic Transmission Fluids? I have ran ATF Type-F. this turned the clutch into a electric light switch (anti Progressive), the clutch is in or out, less progressive, very snappy. Dextron 3 seems less light switchy, if you get my idea for the point.

I then used (now they {Gas Gas UK} say dont use it) GM's AutoTrak 2, which is ATF formulated Fully Synthetic, for a specific transmission on 4 wheel drive trucks with transfer cases that control the front drive tires... this let the clutch (to me, maybe I am wrong on the "difinition of progressive" all around) be able to use more areas of how much clutch I wanted the bike to have with my clutch finger. Please note: GM's AT2, is fully synthetic, but has some additives that they (Gas Gas UK) thinks hurts the clutch fibers... I will not tell you to use it, I no longer use it either. I like my Yamalube engine oil, that is is again nice and using my definition of "progressive"... http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/apparel/apscitemdetail/3/121/all/1/7455/detail.aspx

If I am using progressive wrong, then sorry, been explaining this way for couple years, so I thought I knew what I meant, hoped anyone else did.
