Clutch started to lose feel and become harder to pull. Strange since it’s always been a two finger pull after adding the additional steel plate about 10 years ago.
Unscrewing the clutch rod adjuster was not easy. A sign of things going astray underneath.
Finally got it off and had a similar struggle with the clutch spring compressor / clutch spring not an easy job as usual.
Found that one of the fibre plates, the one facing the rear of the clutch basket, had decided to come apart.
The plates are about 10 yrs old with 5000 miles on them.
Everything cleaned up ok. No excessive wear. Waiting on new parts.
