Morning Chaps
Of late (given that I haven't ridden Slo Poke, so much) the Bob Newby belt drive clutch has had a tendency to stick, from cold.
Usually, this breaks free by dropping it into gear with the aid of a slope but, yesterday, it wouldn't break free at all.
Removal of the plates revealed that two plates were stuck solid and that there was considerable corrosion within the clutch and primary chain case caused (I'm guessing, because the chain case is well sealed) by condensation.
Does anyone have any thoughts on how one might prevent this? My first thought was running it in ATF, but I don't think the belt will like this. As I say. Any thoughts?
