Changed the transmission oil in a 74 H-D 1000cc Ironhead Sporster today and now the clutch isn't working-- just slips, won't move.
We went to a local shop and picked up a bottle of the following:
"RevTech® Gear and Chaincase Lube
Specially designed for use in all XL and XR Sportster® motors from 1971 thru 2003 where the transmission and primary chaincase share a common lubricant."
There's nothing on the bottle to indicate the oil might be synthetic.
Tried adjusting but no go. Clutch was perfect before we changed the oil.
So we drained and refilled with regular 20W50 weight Revtech engine oil.
Still no go.
Any ideas?
PS. I recently got a deal in a few cases of the Revtech 20W50 engine oil at $2.oo a quart from a shop closing and was thinking I might run it in my XS650 but now I'm having second thoughts.
