[QUOTE="gdhillon, post: 206896, member: 3995"] Okay so after some online research I am pretty sure it is my clutch 'fibers' that are causing the drag. I took the bike for a short ride today just to get fuel and a little rip around a meadow (maybe 20 mins). When I got to the gas station I could not get it into neutral while it was running at all. So I turned the bike off and then one half up and there was neutral (I wish I could do that while the bike was running). I assume the clutch not disengaging fully is really hard on the tranny so I'd like to resolve this issue as quick as possible. I will pull apart the clutch on my days off, can I lean the bike flat onto the clutch lever side to prevent oil from spilling out? Or do I have to drain the oil before I check the clutch? What clutches do you guys recommend? Lastly, someone earlier on here suggested I get an eight inch play from my clutch lever to the perch. Is there an adjustment jam nut I can do this with?
