Over the winter I went ahead and changed the oil and the oil filter. (Big thanks to this site for the tips)
Anyhow, now that the sun is coming out in Maryland I have been riding some and noticed that I have alot harder time shifting in and out of Neutral and the clutch seems not to be engaging all the way.
I have made no adjustments to the clutch at all and nothing new to the pipes/carbs/spacer stuff since last summer.
Only thing different is the oil change. When I went to get the parts and oil form the dealership (yah I know I paid to much, but better then the price they wanted to actually change the oil.. I digress)
The guy told me it would take at least 3.5 liters when you change the filter. I drained the oil and added 3.5 bottles of oil. I had a hard time seeing the "oil line" through that looking glass and it seemed to me that it was FULL. Like I said though, it is hard to tell.
Would this cause my problems shifting and clutching? Will it cause problems with seals and such down the road?
