did I say "definitely not the clutch"

Apparently this is common and is due to the glazing of the clutch plates, so these need stripped out and treated or the clutch replaced. 2500 miles God help us. So Khu996 seems we have the same problem.

Seems that town riding is a bit of a no no with these dry clutches, always have to kick it into nuetral at the lights, and avoid riding the clutch when filtering. Easier said than done. Also apparently we are not supposed to be moving quickly off the lights too frequently either. Always slow away with little more than 1200rpm. Wish someone had told me all this at the start.

Any tips for coping with filtering etc would be appreciated. I tend to ride with a lot of rear break when filtering so need the drive...

thanks
