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

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.

Thumbs up 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.

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?
