Wet Clutch !
Posted: Sun Feb 20, 2022 10:08 pm
After a a couple Clutch bleeds I still had some slippage at peak output.
I pulled the starter to check the clutch spline play, it's a 2002 with 11,000 miles.
All good as there is very little play, low miles. I thought it odd that I could not see the spline.

Bad news is there seems to be oil or brake fluid is the clutch area as seen on the starter and inside the housing.

The Beemer does use oil...don't they all. It doesn't seem to be losing brake fluid and the black stuff is quite gooey.
I suppose I could scrap some off and burn it to see if it's oil.
Any thoughts? I need to get this fixed before riding season. Thanks!
