I've preached ATF for years! On some bikes it helps cure a dragging clutch, notchy shifting (Kawasaki), and/or makes it easier to find neutral when the engine is running. Every two stroke I've ever owned has had ATF in it with zero negative effects ever. It is roughly the same weight as regular motor oil yet also includes some detergents that help keep everything clean. If you understand how an automatic vehicle transmission works you would see how similar the components are between it and a two stroke wet clutch setup. Compare the friction discs in auto vehicle transmission and the frictions for our bikes and you'll see they are very similar and work on the same principle. Another advantage is you can find ATF a lot more places than motorcycle spec motor oil! Like Jacob said, it will probably get better with your next oil change as you work all the old motor oil out of the friction plates.

Cool that it works for you. Be happy
To tell the end of the story: after the next oil change the problem, severe dragging, was back I talked to someone who had a similar problem and he said I should try a special engine flush oil. I asked him why and he said, after I informed him that I had replaced all parts of the clutch except the hydraulic line, that he thinks the Motul V300 I put the clutch discs in prior to installation has done something (chemical reaction of the Ester contained in the oil) weird. It did sound plausible as on my bike the clutch lift was the same as on my buds bike, but on his the friction plates opened up easily and on my bike they stuck together and needed a bit of force to free up. After I flushed the engine and re-filled fresh ATF it was better but not perfect. A strange thing was that my clutch pull didn't feel right, it was kinda sticky. Finally I traded the bike in for a new one and of course another GasGas. I admit, that in 40 years of spannering on almost everything that has a motor, including jet engines it is the very first time that I don't have the slightest idea what was going on nor do I have the slightest idea what the root cause was... |
