I can’t find all the suggestions to rinse the clutch. I wet dumped over winter. Did a tear down of frame. Engine and oil are all drained
Thanks for suggestions

Funnily enough my first Airone needed regular clutch rinses. My replacement one (older) has never seemed to slip.

They don't slip, they stick.

I don’t like my clutches doing either! LOL!

Neither do I but being basically a dry clutch, unless it's oiling, tendency is to stick which my Falcone does with metronomic regularity.

I can definitely confirm that my first Airone would both drag (stick) and also slip.  It slipped even during kickstarting.  Rinsing it worked well and cured both issues.

Metronomic? That must be pretty often!

Every 1000 or 1500 km.
Would no doubt be bigger intervals if the bike was used weekly. Maybe?
