fully synthetic everytime ipone


not sure what you mean semi synth, was under the impression that only fully syth should be used

As far as im aware from the outset clutches should use semi synthetic maybe put in from the factory?

We all change the oil sometimes too frequently which adds too many additives eventually building up on the plates...does sound a load of bollocks but thought mention it and is true.

Personally would check fluid levels and adjusters, strip clutch, clean
and change oil to Motorex as specified...

Clever bastuards ktm probaly designed motor to best use Motorex 9/10 they own a big junk of that company anyway.

Not saying anything wrong with Ipone just your bike may not like it had couple of bikes over the years road, enduro just could not use Silkolene constant clutch judder ..slip hope this helps bud and yes stay fully synth. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
