2001 400ex
I changed the oil/ filter and have rode it probably about 4-5 hours (problem free) since. I used 15w-40 rotella T oil. Now from what I understand it is for diesel engines and should be wet clutch compatible.
however:

I adjusted the chain last night and with a quick ride it started to make a horrible grinding/ whining noise (almost like metal on metal) under load and continues after pulling the clutch in until forward movement stops. The sound is coming from the right side so this should indicate clutch problems
:frown:
Maybe this could be cured with a correct oil change. But maybe the clutch is shot at this point. what do you think it could be? does this sounds describe a clutch malfunction?
Thank you
