hi all .
Got a problem with my new pan 1100 trike .
when the clutch is cold and you release it the bike lurches forward quite hard .
After that it is fine all day no drag at all until it is cold again .
1998 model 36000 miles non anti lock braking any ideas .
pan 1100 trike clutch.

Change you clutch fluid and see if that helps. Then start to look at the master and slave cylinder for worn seals.
Check videos on youtube.

hi boys .
i changed oil soon as i got trike with shell advance .
owner before me said he put a new slave cylinda on.
lever feels normal after startup there is no drag all day .
In the morning if i put her in gear first, pull in the clutch lever it dosent open the clutch i cant push the trike lile the plates are stuck until i start the bike then it lurches forward then its right all day .
might try to tie the lever overnight to see if that makes a difference .
would that weaken the springs tho.thanks for the info boys .

Sounds like it's dragging. Is it s wet or dry clutch.

Ah Ha ! - you've broken the cardinal rule of 'old bike' ownership - using fully synth oil ! The Pan is a relatively old engine design and the wet clutches just do not work - for whatever reason - with modern fully synth. oils, even bike specific ones! I'd drain it and throw some plain / ordinary mineral 10w40 in it and use it for a few weeks and its likely the plates will stop sticking, then you can stay with the mineral or use a semi synth. (that works for me - cheap car type semi - changed every 4-5k)

hi deep driver .
yes i believe it is dragging as you say not sure if it is a dry or wet clutch .
saw a video on ytube and no oil came out , but they do recomend soaking plates overnight when changing clutch.
Any body know any diffferent . thanks

If it recommends soaking plates then it's a wet clutch.I would recommend you do what Kawasuki suggested first.
The older i get the earlier it seems to get late.

I would stick with mineral oil.
