#1 Unread post by TeamONEinc »

I just did my first oil change and cleaned and lubed the chain on my bike.....i don't know if this is just me being an idiot or slowly going insane but:
my clutch seems to engage quicker now than prior. I know the oil change wouldn't affect this...but what about the chain?

If i'm making you laugh histerically just let me know and i'll get the point!

Actually, with a wet clutch bike, the oil change would affect it.

Yes, a wet clutch means that it's just as it sounds. Wet. With oil. As Gadjet said, it would effect. Dry means it's not with fluids.
