My Yamaha 225dx 3 wheeler worked fine about 2 years ago. I haven't driven it since then and now the centrifical clutch slips. I took it apart and everything seems to be in ok shape? The one way bearing is working and there's about
.075" of pad left per side. I can tell its this clutch because while it's running you can look down the dip stick hole and see when its turning and not.

Do these clutch pads get glazed and slip??

I did change the oil before this happened, would that do it?? ( I used 10w30 SE)

Any suggestions?

just run it hard, it probably is doing that cause it sat for so long, just run it hard and see if it goes away. or change *Edited**Edited* oil to just regular no se.

That would be easy enough, I'll run the crap of it and see what happens.

I'd add a picture to my post but it would take a light year or so.

Thanks -
