How did you originally adjust the clutch? Was there some sloppy
freeplay at the outer end of the throw?
I'm a real stickler about clutch handle freeplay. People adjust out ALL
of the freeplay which overloads and destroys the rear throwout bearing.
Might want to pull that out and look. Easier if you pull off the
swingarm.
