I thought I had contaminated the clutch friction plates as my clutch had been grabbing/ grinding, I ran it with 10/40 CAR engine oil instead of bike oil thinking it would be the same. I got some proper oil for it, took clutch apart and put brand new friction plates in [soaked them for 6 hours before hand]. Put back together, bike is fine until it gets about 10 mins in, it heats up, and now it doesnt grind, but it won't disengage properly, so it still wants to move along in gear with lever pulled in and won't change gear very easily if at all, I put on a brand new cable, same problem, it's like the plates are sticking to eachother and all the tension I feel in the lever when the bike is cold goes almost completely when it is hot. I have ordered ebc heavy duty springs, new gasket, another set of friction plates and this time new steel plates. Is it possible the old steel plates were the problem [they all looked fine except one, it wasn't the same silver as the others], and is there anything else I should look for?

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!
