Either way I'd call and ask them what type of oil they used just for peace of mind. -Kyle On Thu, Jul 28, 2011 at 7:07 PM, <[email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) > wrote: The dealership in Roanoke did my engine oil. the invoice just says 4 QT bulk oil.

It works fine when the engine is cold, but once the engine gets heated up, it's tough to disengage the clutch. I have checked the clutch master cylinder, it needed fluid, I added a little DOT 3, just as the book prescribes. It ran fine on the way home, once I got home the clutch again was acting like it did not want to disengage. Anyone know what might be going on here? Could it be they used the wrong viscosity of oil? Could overheating cause this? How about the slave cylinder? There are no leaks anywhere. I think the bike sat for about a year before I bough it. I also thjink its been quite a while since someone checked the master cylinder because the screws were seized up and I had to tap them both out. I replaced them with allen screws from a fastener store. Any helpful suggestions out there would be appreciated.
