Slipper Clutch Lubrication! Well guys I would just appreciate some info/feedback from all of you that are using a slipper clutch..... What kind of grease do you use to lubricate it and how often , also what have you used and how did you find it lasted? The clutch i have is a ramp only one and I`am looking for something that won`t be flung off within 50 miles... so of a decent consistency. Thanks Gav |
Do you have the tools for taking it apart? |
I've had very good results with MOS2 (molybdenum disulphate) grease, or what is commonly used in CV joints for cars. You want a grade that has an extended temperature range, something that has life beyond 100 deg. C. A product called "molyslip" works well. Check with your local motor factor. |
Hi Gav, JHP us this stuff, from this place (so do I): http://www.londontools.co.uk/ Rocol 10040 Dry Moly Paste 100g Ref: ROC10040 ROCOL ASP ANTI-SCUFFING PASTE.

Slipper clutch Hi I use the same anti scuffing paste as JHP on my Bucci slipper. I just use a very small amount where the ball bearings sit and a little on the star spring (made that up, dont know the correct name for that spring). Ive just stripped mine having done just a couple of hundred miles since I last gresed it, as Im off to the South of France this Friday on the beast. Was advised by JHP to grease it again before I went on the trip, so I have. Dont know the real answer of when and how often. I suppose when the gear change isnt as slick. But I am looking at doing a few thousand miles on the old girl over the next 10 days without greasing it during this time, so I will let you know. I would be interested to know the though. |
is that the green stuff that looks like chewing gum? |
Thanks for the opinions guys, have gone with the Rocol option for a start and will see how we go.... Andy as for tools....how hard can it be , set of mole grips and a spanner should suffice shouldn`t it? Gav |
No, you'll need a 4 pound lump hammer as well |
