Having done a few hundred miles on the old GS550 I thought it might be time to change the oil. Previous chap mentioned he used fully synth, bit overkill for a 33 year old bike I thought. After scanning the Haynes manual and guides online there seems to be a confusion over 20w50 and 10w40. So, thinking "hey its an old bike, probably chock full of gunk and crap anyway", I change the oil with Tescos finest car mineral 10w40 for pittance. Lo and behold a few miles the clutch is slipping all over the shop! All gears and getting worse. Coincidence might say that the clutch has had it and needs replacing (it's history is unknown). But you just know it's that oil don't you. BUGGER! From what I gathered online its normally the fully synth, ultra thin, full of additives oil that causes this? Plan of action is to shoot to Halfords today, get some Castol semi synth MOTORBIKE oil and bung it in as well as changing the filter. If I have no luck with that then change the clutch friction plates. Anyone experienced this before?
