So I have a 2000 warrior 350 ATV and upon cold starts the clutch sticks, for example. I cold start my atv, let it warm up and gear up for about a 2 min, pull in the clutch and shift to first and STALL. I have to repeat this process multiple times for it to fix it self. Once the clutch unsticks itself the clutch is perfect for the rest of the day.. Smooth, grabs good, etc. Its just on COLD starts..
That being said I emailed the clutch company that I have put in and this was their response.
"Hi Kevin,
What’s happening to your clutch is it’s getting hot and when your done riding the plates cool down and then stick together. Try using a lighter oil like Mobil 1 5w-30 automotive oil. We’ve used this oil many times and can help reduce clutch heat. Try to stick with the Mobil 1 brand as all oils are not the same."
I am currrently using Yamalube 10w-40. That being said, I thought I had to use "wet clutch safe" oil for my atv? Would this be a good solution? Just getting a second opinion.
