You will find all bike oils which say they are suitable for wet clutches have this code. In my experience if you have run a clutch in a non-SG oil, the plates will need replacing as they will look really nice, but wont grip properly :-) Oh - and clutch springs - some of us dd-boys have uprated springs even in our humble 600's ... my 620 has 996 clutch springs plus an additional (steel) plate I will be checking the 583 clutch and comparing the two shortly  [Edited on 28-12-2005 by phil_h] | |
