i am having problems with my clutch, it seems to be slipping quite a bit. when i roll on the throttle in second gear i dont get much response, real doughy. however if i am at a stoplight, it is hard as heck to get it out of first into neutral (easier when rolling up to a light). when at neutral after starting the bike or even after having it running for 20 min or more i get a lot more grinding noise than usual when going down into first. and at times when starting the bike the kickstart will lock up at the top of its swing. i've tried the old pull in the clutch and give the kickstart a few stabs to free the plates before starting trick (from
here) but i still get the kickstart lock at times and am able to free it by modulating the amount of clutch lever squeeze i have and gently tapping on the kickstart lever. i could use some toughts / recommendations, i've done some searching on this board and am still a bit dumbfounded, i'm considering ripping it all apart and putting it back together with new springs and plates to get nice and intimate with my bike as i haven't gotten her left cover off yet
i guess i'll need a clutch hub nut puller and... ? and i'll check for a broken woodruff key (?) once i find out in the manuals where that is...
