    On my 12 cr 144, my clutch has started dragging until the bike has warmed up. It takes about 5 mins and then it is good for the rest of the day. I have some play in the clutch pull. Do I need to adjust it where it grabs as soon as it starts to pull or something else. The bike has about 30 hrs on it, so it should not be worn out!

    I change the oil after every 2 rides about 8 hrs. What type of oils is recommended? I am running rosella right now, but have also used maxima.

    light weight gear oil it shouldnt be that if you change it regularly, you can take the slop out of the cable or clutch mechanism but leaver a little play so that the actuator arm is relieved of stress when the clutch is fully engaged, there are threads where these have sheared due to constant pressure. 1/8th play 3mm
    i assumed oil due to warm up time, that said its starting to become very cold over here that could be a factor to consider.

    I run a Rekluse z-start pro and after switching from Motul synthetic or semisynthetic 10W 40 to Mobile 1 European formula 0W40...FIRM engagement of Rekluse at immediate onset of throttle ;)
