Thank you all for your concern. The oil's I have been using are high$ Castrol Motorcycle 10-40.

I still have not found out if this is a wet, or dry clutch.

I would be more than willing to switch to Rotella.

I've been putting this off since my last ride, as this rates as about #5 down my vehicle list.

Another clue may be that when I lean alot only on right curves, I hear a strong buzzing sound from the front end, that sounds cable like to me. Though, I've never heard that sound on a bike before; I really don't think it's a wheel bearing.

With tight money concerns, not wanting to do high shop rates if can be avoided, and not really closely knowing anybody else that rides, I've been slow on this.

I have 2 different shop manuals, and a friend who naturally is VERY wrench minded, so I'm planning on a less slick oil, a new cable, w adjustment help from my friend.

Please be patient. When I get through the above, I'll share what happens!
