Has anyone else wound up with a lemon?

Was your clutch handle adjusted properly for the 1st problem? I saw someone on youtube adjusting the clutch cable with no slack, you should be able to insert a quarter between the mount and handle while loose. If tight, it will slip and burn. If you use energy efficient oil (5W anything or synthetic) it can cause the clutch to slip. I've also had them slip from 15W40 as well, 10W30 and 10W40 seems to work best.

If I'm thinking correctly the part you are referring to causing the shavings had to be removed in order to install the clutch (3:00 minute point, CRF230 clone engine), it may not have been tightened properly.

I've screwed up so much stuff over the years lol
