Clutch splines: lube or not?

[John Roberts]

It's an '82 R100 RS, new friction plate. What's the best thing to do, leave the splines dry? I've never put anything on them but the clutch is very stiff, getting unrideable now.

Please.

They need lubricating with the specified grease.

Definately...Motor*** sell the correct white grease . Tis a PITA though. ( Just make sure it isn't the clutch cable btw as they can seize under load)
