KTM Clutch

[green machine]

Well fellas i wonder if any of you guys have any ideas on why my nice smooth and easy to pull clutch on my EXC450 has all of a sudden gone all stiff and feels like a cable clutch now and even snaps back when you let it go......and to top it off when its pulled in it makes quite a rattle down where the plates are,for the record it hasn't been ridden for a couple of months......opinions appreciated,Cheers Steve

Ill say it You did buy a KTM
oil change ??
change the clutch fluid
check line for damage
check plates and basket

Your baskets "fingers" probably has notches in it and the plates are catching in it. If you've got the money, get a new basket, if not you can file out the grooves.
