Clutch grabbing issue

[oldguy]

Forget about draining the oil ... drain/empty the fuel tank and just lay the bike on it's side ...

Id never be able to stand it up on my own

Shit I soooo misread the title - I thought it said 'Crutch grabbing' something I was prepared to comment on....

As you were.

Same! I thought, "what has Fenati done now?"

Most likely cause is the basket fingers and often basket inner getting grooves worn in them. You can carefully file the worst of it out if it's not too bad but on a litre bike and a Vtwin at that it will be a consumable. Obviously minimization involves a nice cable, but not applicable in your case, not much slop in cushdrive, smooth chain run, and flat clutch plates. Good luck.

RC51 SP1/SP2 group on facebook, a few members their had or have a similar problem, most said it was as you mentioned with the basket, and did as you mention
and file/sand it down. One guy was going to install an SP2 clutch, but I think thay are the same anyway, another went with a Barnett unit another went with a
sigma slipper clutch but he track days his bike.

Could start a whole new thread on OEM vs Aftermarket vs Slipper clutch vs standard.
