Re: Spline Lube

Tom:

One must never discount the possibility of a defective component on a bike.
They discussed, complete with photos, one failure on the BMWST BBS that
seemed to me to be an alignment problem between the tranny input shaft and
the clutch disk.
I have heard it said that one can see the clutch splines with the starter
motor off the bike.  That having been said what is the criterion for
deciding to lube the splines?  Sometimes it is better not to
know..............
