1st of all, new guy here. Thanks for havin me.
Just want to share this.
2-3 weeks ago. Got caught up in the same light in a very busy town called New Hope Pa. Sats and sundays real heavy weekender traffic, bikes, pedestrians, ccars, you name it. Place to be.. Unless your on your harley.
My new bike got so hot. I must have sat at that same light for about 5 cycles of the light. Shut the bike off, went to restart , barely turned over. Oil tank really heatin up the ole inner thigh. Man I really worried about my new bike. Inched up a bit, tried to get it in neutral, noticed that the clutch did not work. At idle, the and in first gear, clutch lever all the way in, bike wants to pull away on its own. Oil viscosity breakdown is what im figuring. Pull over, no parking area (tough), Bang, Bang, Bang, bike stalls. Sit 10-15 minutes restart the bike, still hotter than you no who, make it across the bridge into Lambervill NJ, sit 25 minutes. Pull away, come home, everything seems ok. But, It was a complete nightmare for my bike.
Im afraid to get caught in any traffic.
Whats a guy to do now ? Any body that can shed some light on how to prevent ths, different oil. What would you do..?:wall:newsmile090:
