Hey guys had some pretty severe clutch slippage on Saturday, enough to almost completely neutralise the bike and put me out of race 3 
This is almost certainly my fault for using synthetic oil, although the bike has nearly 24 hrs on it and it's the first time this has happened. Also when my bike came back from the shop the mechanic said I had a washer in the wrong place and he fixed it but in doing that my clutch went from an almost on/off setup to a full lever type. I much prefer the on off type....
Anyways my question is: Is it as simple as just changing back to some non synthetic oil, or is this a removal of the clutch and clean it deal?
I finally got a chance to clean it this arv and gave it a quick run around the yard. It changed gears and actually ran ok but the clutch felt really foreign.
