May have to go there, too. My clutch is still slipping in high torque applications

MBarr, are you running FULL SYNTHETIC oil? Have read some posts over on the Victory forums, where they are correlating slippage to full syn oils under high torque situations. Semi-Syn is the recommendation there if the rider is hard on the throttle or towing in hilly terrain...
Not wanting to start an OIL debate, just passing on the synopsis of another discussion.
Not to take away from the importance of MAINTENANCE on the hydraulic clutch system of our VULCANS.

Ride safe,

No Synthetic Lube here no Blends either. Not that it would be a bad thing, I just do not use them. I run the same brand of 10-40 for all my bikes for 16+ years (SH / Jaso 2)
Maybe I need to change my thinking on it. I must admit I am curious about a certain brand/type. Now would be a time to change, since I have a issue/reason.

Might be time to do it, I think I have enough Crush Washers for a few lube changes

So The acceleration is still off/ stumbles. Not thinking it is the motor anymore. After a very Curvy ride today.

I am getting a belt tension gauge, I need to get this sorted out. I can not rule out belt slippage at this point. Maybe the creators had something on the shipping the bikes with what we thought was to tight belts????? Looking into it.
