Clutch felt as if the bite point when doing starts was gone.The last couple starts have gone like I couldn't not feel it grab like I had been then bam it would grab hard and the front would go skyward. So Ive never changed the clutch since new and the bike has 17k or 18k or so on it so I planned on doing so. I've taken the old one out and the steels do have some marking on umm but not to bad and the fibers are worn but still have some material on umm. What I have found is a little bit of wear on the basket some groves and what i would call the pressure plate spring studs have some deep groves on them some deeper then others on both. Now what does this mean? Would this of been the cause of the problem or what would this have been causing ? Is this common? What would you do now? Could the clutch feel be a simple as differant oil and the rest is still good?
