slipping clutch, but no signs of wear? fs 570

husaberg-newbie · Aug 4, 2013

Hi!

I noticed my clutch starts to slip more and more, but the weird thing is that the friction plates have no signs of wear at all? I'm using plutoline 10w50 nanotech as engine oil, so nothing wrong with that? its a fs 570 from 2010!

Is that oil JASO MA rated as OK to use in wet clutch motorcycle engines? Perhaps this oil is too 'slippery', or has too much moly or other energy conserving components in it.

I will check it but its hard to beleive it is due to the oil since its used by my local dealer in all their bikes

I've been using Shell 10/50 sync car oil, obviously not JASO rated, for the last 150 hours or so with no clutch problems.

Found the problem, springs were worn! Replaced them with new ones and no slippage now!
