Knackered clutches & dinged wheels??

Hi All,

Couple of minor(?) issues with the SS, wondering in anyone's been through this before.

1. Clutch is biting just before the lever is completely released.

I assume this means the clutch is on its last legs. Has anyone replaced a clutch on a wet-clutch duke?? I'll be changing the oil soon and reckon this could be the best time to do it, but what do I need to look out for, and what needs to be ordered in advance (just plates, or springs, etc)??

2. Front wheel has a decent size ding in the rim

The ding is about 8cm long, and the edge of the rim is about 8-10mm out of line, but there's no cracks on the paint. Looks like it's hit a big pothole head on. Tyre doesn't seem too fussed about it at road speeds. Will it pass scrutineering? Anyone know where I could get it straightened reasonably cheaply?

Thanks in advance,

ali
