After googling a bit I think the problem is the clutch lever assembly. Maybe I didnt do the adjuster screw right on the lever. Will have to check that out in the morning

I did wet the plates before install

The steel plates looked fine, I think the cavle "freeplay" is right byt i am Kina lost regarding that. It is an old cable, should I just replace it? The oil is correct I triple checked it and it is is JASO MA

Hi! I have a '82 xs400 12e seca and clutch keeps acting up. It clicks into gear and rides smooth in low rpms but as soon as I get up to about 3000rpms the clutch slips and loses gear. This resulting in me not being able to travel at more than 80km/h. I have replaced all the friction plates and...

Hello! I have not had the time to look into this problem more until now. My father (who used to rides these back in the day) drove and said it needs new plates, good I thought. Now when i'm looking for them I cant find them under 150£ for the kit and when I look on Ebay they sell to a bunch of...

I have a 1982 12e without a kick but maybe everything else is the same? Also i'll need to drain the oil right?

That is the exact issue I have aswell, looks like i need to change the plates after all

The bike has 43 000km. I have heard people talking about that, is it a difficult job to do? I don't have a lift or anything I just work in the ground.

Hi! I have talked about this problem on another post but I thought it deserved it's own post. It starter with an oil leak from the drive shaft but I did change the clutch rod seal also and maybe I broke something in the process. Everytime I get to fourth gear (and fifth) and accelerate it feels...

I think I havr 10W40 and it meets JASO MA2, so maybe i'll think about other options. I have thought the clutch is a little weird (hard to find gears and doens't register gear changes sometimes) so maybe I will check the plates and maybe swap them to. I really want this bike to feel good since...

The JASO MA or MA-2 Oil is something i haven't heard and therefore not considered. I should take a look at that I think. (Before dissemebling the bike and pouring oil everywhere;) )

Already changed the oil and still the same, what I noticed is in third, fourth amd fifth

So we have a ending (kinda). I did change all of the seals and boom! no more leaking! But I have noticed something else with the bike now. Maybe it needs a new post but anyway. Sometimes when I try to accelerate the bike jumps out of gear and it feels like neutral kicks in but when I let go of...

Today I cleaned out most of the dirt and grime I could to get a better idea of what is leaking and I thought the seal behind the sprocket looked the worst (I ordered all the new seals so it really doesn't matter which one it was) hopefully they arrive tommorow so i get it up and running again...

Sorry for all the questions:) Will any oil flow out from the holes when I remove the seal?

Thank you for the reply, looks like i will have to replace all the seals. Is there any trick to the other ones? The clutch rod one was really easy but I have a feeling not all of them are:/

Will do that, does a normal detailing brush work? Or do I need heavier stuff?

Hello! I have a 82 12E model and it's been leaking since this winter. I opened the cover and it's a mess I read online that this is a common problem and it's usally from the clutch rod so I switched the oil seal but I find it hard to see where the leak is coming from. I went for a ride and...
