Yes. There’s something in there now that makes too slick for wet clutches.Didn’t they change the rotella formula ?
I ran 50/50 atf/cheap oil. Supposedly that's what Dowd preferred, even in his factory bikes.

They changed the formula when they updated the bottle. Hinson and Rekluse both stop suggesting use several years ago. I use to use it and shortly after the change I had some clutch issues.i still run it with no issues.. rotella T-4 15W40 is conventional oil.. you maybe thinking of the new t-5 and t-6.. they semi and full synthetic oils.
Interesting..I have been running it in all 3 of my yz smokers with no issues. wonder what they added to the oil to cause issues. the usually don’t add tons of friction modifiers to conventional oils.
