[QUOTE="Rednaxs60, post: 189055, member: 4617"] You can remove some of the oil and top up with the product of your choosing, then go for a good ride of say 200 miles. Drain and fill and do again. Third time drain and fill normal and see what happens. It may work, may not. I had the same symptoms, tried a flush. It worked somewhat, but it is really addressing the symptoms and not the issue. I did redo the starter clutch because I took the engine out to replace the stator. I also did the clutch stack as well because the PO had been towing a trailer (this is hard on GW clutches). I had never taken the engine out of a large bike, but took my time and all worked out well. Mine is an '85 LTD fuel injected model. Taking the engine out is not as onerous as you may think. You may also get away with disconnecting the engine and angling it in situ to get at the rear cover to remove it. If you do take the engine out or cant it sideways, even though you would have drained the oil there is still a lot left in the rear case. Hope this helps. Cheers [/QUOTE]
