Re: Clutch

Re: Clutch
The XS has a wet sump whereas the TRX has an oil tank snd a second oil pump to lift the oil back to the tank.
That said, I'd expect some oil around the clutch. Make sure you have the level right - these engines have a habit of eating crankshafts if it is wrong!

Re: Clutch
I've had the clutch cover off a few times.
With the bike resting on the side stand there little to no oil in the clutch, certainly not enough to dribble out.

Re: Clutch
and if the non-return ball valve is working there should be very little oil in the sump
If it's not made in China, it's a fake!
