shift and / or clutch problem Part II

[massey130]

thinking i had messed something up after changing the rear tire and having shifting trouble, i went through the suggestions in the previous thread.

 

man, where does that oil go. last thing checked was the crankcase oil level and it was 1/2 down - and getting dark.

 

what a drag. i was having such fun and then 2000 plus miles roll around and my shifter has to tell me it is time for an oil change. doesn't seem like that long ago i checked the oil and it was fine.

 

I started out spoiled as the previous owner had done all the PM and all i had to do was get on and go. i called him today and asked what oil was in the machine so i could stay the course since i have no whine or chirp. He used Yama lube and 4 ounces of Lucas additive. so off tomorrow i go to round up some stuff to change the oil.

 

I want to thank those of you who gave me suggestions to trouble shoot and i was sooo glad it was an oil change and not something else.

 

anyone use an oil additive? if so, what kind?

 

what a way to start the new year. i am glad i have the time off to take care of this.
