Well, truth be told, I was riding 2up and shutting down some Harley guys that were making a lot of racket. After the clutch started to slip, I rode normal for the rest of the day. But by time I got close to the house it could barely get across an intersection from a stop. I will put a few miles...
Looks like my oil/clutch saga is over. I don't know why some of the Vmaxs out there work fine with synthetic oil or specifically Rotella T6. But, mine, after a long 2up ride would barely move under its own power. I thought the clutch had to be toast. Well dropped the brand new T6, let it drain...
I have been reading about the bleeding procedures. Sounds like the "reverse bleed" would be easiest for one person to accomplish....?? I see it mentioned but I can't find a how to or write up. Anybody got a link? I've been searching but haven't found the right terms to use I guess...
