trevbul1 Posted 16 hours ago Report Share Posted 16 hours ago Hi All, I treated myself to a new Sincro but am gutted that the last point of clutch lever travel before full engagement is a light-switch effect that makes the bike jump forward - seriously annoying where you need to stay precisely on line in a tight turn. I have tried all three built in pre-sets on the diaphram clutch, but to no avail; the lever is not heavy on the fingers but the bite is too sudden to control with clutch slip I would normally use on almost any other bike. The bike has only done three hours on the original Liquid Moly oil. My old Evo wasn't like this. Please, any ideas at all? Otherwise I'll have to sell it and go back to either TRS, GasGas or an earlier EVO! Thanks and happy riding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If t was me in your situation , I would be changing the oil and putting something different in to see if it altered the clutches operation. There are plenty to try out from 10w30 Mineral Transoil to ELF HTX 740 or PUTOLINE N-TECH TRANS GP , or GP10 , NILsl Clutch Trial Racing. and a few more on top. Different oils can give different clutch action. Have your clutch in bits and improve it with a bit of file work etc check everything is how it should be.. Did you thrash it while slipping the clutch in a high gear to punish it for its non compliance perhaps that may help what you describe sounds like the perfect clutch for a WTC rider it may be designed to behave that way . Good luck in your quest. Regards Alan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
