Dirty oil

Hi all,

For those who know, since I buy my bike (in 2008) I only ride with the EFM autoclutch, in the 2008-2009 winter I ordered a complete basket with plates from ebay(used). A month ago when I changed my crank bearings I decided it was time to get back to a real clutch...
I rode about 6-7h before my first oil change after the rebuilt, the oil was really "dirty", since I have the bike it never was this dark..
I changed it, at my last ride after 45mins of riding I noticed from the level side glass that the oil is already dark... :shock:
I use 10w40 oil for the autoclutch, should I just try another oil or change the friction plate ??

Thank you!!

I'm also thinking about selling the EFM...

Make sure the oil your using is for wet clutches in a bike. Can't trust any of the other oils anymore.
