Clutch Squeek!!!

Hi all,

Silly question time..... I have owned my 2005 999 for about 6 months and got caught in the rain with it the other day. Since then my clutch has been really squeaky when you pull the lever in (Squeek coming from the clutch itself!!!).

Put a **** load of WD40 on the springs which can be seen through the open clutch cover and this stopped the squeak for a few days, but it has come back. Also .... occasionally I can't get it back into neutral and pulling the clutch in doesn't stop the bike from moving (as if it's slightly engaged!!!!)

To cut an incredibly long story short.... Do you think I need new clutch plates????.... The bike has done 12,000 miles. No idea if the clutch plates have ever been changed !!!!

Thanks for your help !!!!

Brian
