Ian:
If the cables and clutch lever are all in good shape and lubed, then
my vote on the grabby clutch is also a notched input spline. This hangs
the clutch plates up enough so they don't slide smoothly and then
finally grab. Probably more noticeable when starting from a dead stop
than when you're rolling. I solved the problem by smoothing out the
notches on the input spline with a dremel tool and some spline lube.

| Ian: Notched splines on tranny input. Try adjusting the clutch cable for more or less slack. Sometimes, for reasons unknown (as on my bike) this will fix it for a while. If that doesn't work, do the mineral spirits bath trick. That usually works for about 1000 miles. If that doesn't work, replace ithe plates and input.
