Changing the oil might help; might not too. It is an inexpensive thing to try before doing a major repair.

People in your position.....no tools and no real knowlege or experience with major repairs.....often make matters worse when they attempt their own repairs. I recommend taking it to a respected mechanic......unless you are REALLY wanting to learn something MORE than you want to ride !! :cool:

A simple oil change is something that you can easily do on your own, but you will need a couple of tools.

See this thread:

There is also a lot of converstion in there about using automotive synthetic oils with friction inhibitors.
To make sure that everything is "A-OK" spend a little more cash and get MOTORCYCLE oil. Just to be safe.

If your clutch still slips after the oil change, then you'll need to start thinking about clutch work.

You might try a simple clutch adjustment after your oil change. Also, lube the cable.

Has nobody mentioned a simple clutch adjustment ?? Guess not; good catch!

So......DO you have a little slack in the clutch cable ?? If not, an adjustment might help.

A clutch can get slippery for other reasons. If you use your clutch a lot it can get slick enough to cause it to slip. You can take it out and rough up the surface a bit with some sand paper to fix this.
