Hi all,
Have just resurected my old bike after a 10 years languishing in my garage and am having trouble with the clutch. It drags a little and it is very hard to find neutral. I've cleaned up and measuredd everything re- the clutch and all seems to w/in spec. I've also adjusted it correctly so I don't think that's the issue.
However the Bike has 15K miles and still has the original 40+ year old fibre plates (having been oil soaked and cleaned numerous times over the years).
The clutch basket wobbles but there's but the clutch action is even and smooth so I'm not sure if that is contributing to the problem.
Am planning to buy new friction plates a(Barnett) and a clutch pushord oil seal as g/b oil is finding its way into the clutch.
Will replacing the clutch bearing as well if this helps solve the problem.
Any thought are much appreciated. Thanks/Mitch
