Just thought I'd post an update, I took the bike out for a small run this evening and have noticed that what sounds like the clutch is slipping now even while riding along.

More noticeable if I slow down in a gear and then accelerate to add some load on it.

I can only assume its the clutch as it sounds a bit like the high pitch sound you get when you pull the clutch lever in when stopped.

I'm still waiting for the Haynes Manual before I start to take it apart but I'm just hoping that the clutch doesn't need replacing.

If it does what's the rough price for new plates? and do you have to replace all the plates at once or just the ones which have worn out?
