Another clutch failure question

[Lorenzo]

I'm experiencing clutch slippage on my fairly new CBR. Not sure if this is due to using an HDEO car oil or not. Any thoughts?
Here is a picture of me and my girlfriend on the bike:

uh... yes... it MUST be the oil.... what else could it be?
go to any car dealer and get the remaining stock of the silica mixture they used on clunkers. that should improve the bite on the clutch.

I think the problem is that Mobil 1 has high iron.

This belongs in the humor section, right?

Is there something funny? What am I missing? ah yes, the crack about high iron in M1....

If that's a photoshop, it's a really good job... even got the shadow right, right down to the pony tail...

That just isn't right.

Hey....warmth in the winter and shade in the summer.
That reminds me of a HD owner wearing a t-shirt that said on the back side: "If you can read this, the beach fell off". Except it didn't quite say "beach".

Surprised its only the clutch, looks like engine, tires, and shocks would be stressed too.

Too much load on the clutch. Higher horsepower motors are more likely to slip the clutch when using automotive oils. Run a MC specific oil and see if the problem goes away.

I am amazed you still have a clutch.

Get the girlfriend to stop drinking the oil.

If not, suggest a front end loader with a sofa in the bucket. Might as well put in a fridge & microwave too.

Dude! That's my girlfriend! What are you doing with her? We are going to have a talk later on tonight.

Easy does it bud. Looks like there's plenty to go around....

That bike must have the shock spring from a Mack truck!

I think the problem is that Mary has high bacon fat content.
