As some of you know my bike was sitting for ahile in the garage. I had heard that the clutch plates can stick together, this is what happened.
I jammed on the frount break and pop, they became unstuck. What I neglected at the time was that I could have bent the plates doing what I did.
It doesn't sound like I have bent plates by what I've read. No loud bangs, and the clutch engages and disengages fine.

What I have been struggling with is inner town riding, getting the speed right and stuff feels difficult. It's hard to describe, but sometimes it's almost like I am about to stall at or near 30MPH. I am putting it down to getting to know my bike again.

Story is I bought it, and then I got a part time job as a motorcycle traffic reporter and got to ride a jap bike for around 12months. Yup that's right, I am an unemployed rubber necker. So I've barely had chance to play with my Triumph, although I've had it a while now.

Anyway, I am contemplating going for a burn in the rain. Its a bank holiday afterall lol
