    A few photos from 2023 Tattley Rappit rally in and around Alexandra New Zealand. There is a You tube post that shows the trip on punt better. I will try and find it.

    Excellent 3 days. Weather great. Company great. Riding great.

    Well photos didn't post.

    I'm thinking kill switch is cause of problem. I will give it a clean when I'm home. Im not tempting fate by working on it while on trip. Bike didn't miss a beat today. Traveled 400k home to Dunedin via some back roads. Off to rally tomorrow in Alexandra which is about 200ks away.

    Don't grab at straws , do methodical evaluations and testing.

    I did as you suggested. Clutch still slipped a bit for about 5 gear changes after taking off then it was fine. Did rollon in 3rd gear 40k/hr near end of 100k ride. No slip. Clutch felt normal after slip had stopped. Each ride slip is getting less.

    cash  do this , 

     # 1 start your bike and allow it to warm up as you normally do. 

    # 2 pull your clutch lever all the way in and release the lever 10 Xs  in a row 

     # 3 put the bike in gear and take off as normal 

    # 4 did you notice ANY difference ? 

     # 5 after you get going  for a while, get your bike in 3rd gear and go as slow as possible and roll on the throttle . Does the clutch slip when you do this ?

    # 6 do the clutch pull test again 10 Xs after the bike is completely warmed up after you get through with your ride. Did you notice ANY difference in the before and after ?

    Many Thanks for the hit list. Will follow it when I get some day light dry riding time.

    I've used Penrite pretty much exclusively for thirty years. If your clutch is slipping it's not the choice of oil. There are a host of possible causes but the oil type isn't one of them.

    Thanks Pete. Me grasping at straws.

    cash , IF there was oil getting into your clutch area and causing clutch slippage , this would not go away after a few kms. Petroleum products on a clutch will stay on a clutch .  

    Can you explain this slippage and how bad , how long it has been going on &  how long this occurs . 

    Release clutch lever revs build without going forward then you get forward motion rather than straight away. This occurs standing still or moving. This lessens the further you go. i.e trip into town is 40ks through country roads and built up areas. Slipping stopped after about 20ks and didn't at all coming back home.

    I have Penrite Pro Gear 75W-90 in my gearbox. No oil mist.

    The troublesome vent hose can split at the outlet on top of the bell housing, which lets oil vapor into the clutch area. When I bought my bike, it came with an oil drip at the witness hole at the bottom of the bell housing. Replacing the vent hose fixed the leak, but I couldn't see the cracks in the hose until I took it out.

    I have a part used bottle of Shockproof Heavy with about 750ml still in it, not quite enough for a gearbox. I bought it from Brake n Transmissions BNT

    Area around vent hose looks dry but from what you say it could be the cause of both problems. Think I will go with oil I know

    Misting over Gear box was happening before the gearbox saga (Link ? don't go there)

    I've read somewhere on here of some gearbox oils causing gearbox leaks. I had also noticed the Penrite oil had reduced in thickness from what I had used before.

    So I put 2 & 2 together.

    Yes a leak or mist could be reason clutch is slipping.

    So theory is replace oil to one I've used before with no problems.

    If problems still occur where to from there ......
