74 Husky Fork oil   Message List

Re: [HuskyOwners] Re: 74 Husky Fork oil

Steve,
 
I tried straight 30w and the clutch would not hook up completely. After i flucshed all of the 30w out and re-filled it with straight 20w motor oil the clutch works sweet, and after riding the bike for a few hours i had to change the fork oil to 50w and now the bike runs and handles great.

ended up finding it at a Car Quest Auto parts store. I made the
mistake of putting SAE 30w oil in the trans and i thought the clutch
was slipping, I didn't think it would make that much of a difference
but it does. I hope this saves you all the headaches that i got
while learning the hard way. (IT SEEMS THATS HOW I LEARN
EVERYTHING.....LMFAO!!!!!)
