Clutch problems

[NSR-Dan]

NSR dry clutches are so much easy to work on.

Might as well update the thread in case it's useful to someone in the future:

The oil helped a bit, but the clutch was still dragging when hot. But it was fixed by replacing the friction plates with an aftermarket set. I think the old paper plates had worn so smooth (glazed maybe?) they were sticking to the steel plates rather than letting go and sliding.

Also, to stop myself getting a sore hand from using the clutch, I welded an extension onto the lever on the twist actuator thing that pushes on the clutch pushrod. It's greatly reduced the amount of force required to operate the clutch, but it has made the clutch engage earlier when releasing the lever. This is fine, except the clutch has to be properly adjusted to ensure it's disengaging enough when the engine is hot (lever free play increases when the engine heats up).
