Have you checked if that oil is compatible with a wet clutch?  I was thinking about friction reducing agents in the oil, causing clutch slip. That's common in car engine oils and that's the reason one shouldn't pour that klind of oil into an engine with a wet clutch (I did it once when I was younger and more foolish, and I f**ked up my clutch plates  ). As for the topic re: transmission oil, I use an el cheapo fully synthetic oil meant for engines with a wet clutch. I'm not sure if I would use that oil if I used my bike alot though, but I rarely ride the 350 so I guess it's no big deal. I think I've driven the 350 like.... I dunno, two times this year? And that's just a few short blasts. |

Have you checked if that oil is compatible with a wet clutch? Of course it is, remember that gearbox with overdrive use that oil (volvo). Overdrive are more or less wet clutches. |
