    Good to know. I’m going to try that. I don’t think it’s a chain/driveline related issue though. This only happens after reaching operating temperature. Maybe the oil get too viscous at high temps, allowing clutch plates to slip slightly. Have any oil recommendations?

    not an easy question and fraught with controversy.

    btw, hot oil has less viscosity.

    I must be confused on the viscosity thing. Can you please explain?

    Viscosity is, very simply, how easily a liquid flows. High viscosity oil flows more slowly than low viscosity oil. Think of syrup and
    vinegar, syrup would be high viscosity and vinegar is low viscosity.

    Very generally speaking oil will flow easier, i.e. act like a lower viscosity, when hot.

    I see. Would it make sense that the oil is “too slick” when it gets up to operating temperature?

    Hilarious.

    For real though.

    Changing the oil might help?
