Would that be a BMW Motorrad mechanic like the one who certified my GS as "approved used" without spotting the pissing fork seal?

Cheapest 10W40 from a supermarket, job done. Those engines are designed to be run on whatever random gloop is available in India. It'll thank you for not putting anything too fancy in it.

Nooooo took bike for long drive tonight then the dreaded clutch slip came back anyone done a clutch on cbf125

[RhynoCZ]

Do you have enough free play?

Any metal bits in the oil (such as parts of the clutch springs, bits of the clutch plates)?

Yes my free play is there and the cable is adjust right back to no more and it only slips when really hot

[RhynoCZ]

Well, time to check the clutch plates and springs, then. Looking at the CBF125 engine, you're gonna have to remove the clutch cover for that.

Note, remove the cover very carefuly. There is a paper gasket and if you rip it, you're gonna have to replace it. You should replace it anyway, but I have removed the cover before and reused the gasket with no leaks afterwards, so it is doable.

* Also, sometimes the plates might be alright but the springs too worn. Remove the springs and measure them (the service manual should tell you the right height).

** Check youbook, there are quite a lot of videos about CBF 125 clutch removal. Read the service manual /Haynes as well.

Thanks Ryno I don't have a Haynes manual but going to strip it tomorrow

[RhynoCZ]

If you get so far, that you will be removing the clutch plates, make some pictures and notes, so you know in what order to put the new plates back.

I have adjusted the
Play on the gear leaver to about 1/2 cm but I also have play on the up and down movement of clutch lever is this norm

They're not precision devices. As long as the pivot itself and the perch are not flapping about, it's all normal.
