My brother and I have two exact same, Yamaha 2020 WR450F (from different dealers) and both have terrible clutch drag.
It makes them impossible to start, unless you can find neutral, which you cant find anyway.
We hoped that a part of the fix might be to use an MA1 type oil but it seems impossible to find in Australia.
Would it be true that if I can find a JASON MA oil, it is more likely to be 'slippier' than MA2? (because it doesn't meet the MA2 specs and if it did, then they would sell it as MA2)
Are there some additives or keywords I should look for (like zinc ?) that would suggest a 'slippier' type of oil.
Manual says I can use "JASO standard MA"
Thanks for any help.
Matt
