I went to the garage this morning to ride to work. At 6:45 in was 37 degrees and the starter just spun. Every time I pushed the start button, nothing but spinning. I was thinking it was the cold weather, so I bump started it and rode to work. Then when I went to lunch... the same thing so I brought the bike home and rode the cage back to work after lunch. This evening when I got home, it spun again and the first press, but and then it caught and started.
Today I spent some time researching and when it started this eveing, I confirmed by suspicion: the starter clutch. It is time for an oil change so I am going to dump some Seafoam in and ride a tank of gas through the bike and then change the oil.
My question: Do I put Delo 400 back in or should it be some lighter weight oil?
