Hi again,
Yes, I have replaced plugs and the carbs have been off and cleaned. I don't think its an ignition or carb problem as the engine runs great, no lack of performance although it is a little hesitant at low reves when pulling away gently - goes like stink when giving it some stick tho!.
I'm sure the problem is either gearbox or clutch, the transmition is very statchy when you open and close the throttle, its much more noticeable at slow speed and in lower gears.
I can turn the back wheel by about 2 inches when the bike is in gear on the centre stand - I would expect some play but not this amount - It almost feels as if the front sprocket is loose!
Clutch shock absorber? My haynes manual doesn't show one, but surely there must be one in there somewhere.
Hmm...
