My SP1000 used to do the same thing, drop a little idle speed when the
clutch was pulled in. It went away when I replaced the clutch with the
newer deep spline type. I chalked it up to the friction plates not
freeing entirely from the notched input hub and dragging a little on the
intermediate plate or flywheel or pressure plate.

| Also, I am trying to understand why my idle drops when I pull in the clutch. Andy said it still is doing this "slightly". I'll have to compare it to the way it was before. I was hoping it would go away as he had found the clutch hub to be dirty with some slight surface rust. Andy buffed the hub with a wheel and lubed it. What else can be causing RPM's to drop when pulling the clutch? I wonder if something was not installed properly by the Guzzi dealer way back when. I do have the newer style needle throwout bearing, just wonder if perhaps something is missing to not get a good enough disengagement of the clutch and somehow it is hanging up when warm.
