yes, can be caused by a misadjusted cable or some bikes have a screw and locknut at the clutch that can be incorrectly set. also some oils will cause slippage, the reason to make sure there are no friction modifiers in the oil you put in your bike.

![]() What type of kit would I need to look for? I'm looking at the microfiche on my bike now as well as googling for parts. I'm kind of at a loss since I know jack shit about this. Can anyone point me in a general direction of what I need? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

depending on how bad it is you may need steel and fiber plates, would need to look at them before ordering or just go ahead and get both to be safe to have all the parts you need. I'll let others suggest parts for it. I'm partial to using OEM parts when I can. did he say anything about your oil when he changed it? I always look at what settles in the bottom of the pan after I empty the drain pan. |

You'll need a side cover gasket, "X" amount of clutch plates and possibly "X" amount of steel ctutch plates.
I'll get a picture of the clutch hub in my H1 triple and it'll give you an idea what to look for. It's not brain surgery but just pay attention to where everything goes for when you put it back together. Take plenty of digital pics ![]() BRB Jeff |

I also have a copy of the service manual on my bike, so I have something to go by as well....

![]() ![]() The gear on the outer clutch basket is driven by the crankshaft. When the clutch is pulled in, the fiber and steel plates do not touch. When the clutch is released, the springs press the steel and fiber plates together and make the cycle go. The fiber plates are smooth on the inside and have tabs which fit into the main clutch housing. The steel plates are splined which fit onto the aluminum hub and smooth on the outside. The spring rings in the back fit in between the steel plates and inside the fiber plates. If the steel plates are discolored from heat or scarred/gouged, replace them. If your fingernail catches a groove, replace them. You can check them for flatness on a piece of new house window glass ( new meaning glass from the 70s or newer. ) If they look OK, you can clean them up with 240 or 320 grit sandpaper. Clean very well before reusing them. Here's a closer shot of the steel and fiber plates ![]() Jeff |

I'm not doubting your friend's diagnosis, but have you noticed any difference in the clutch feel, release, or acceleration of your bike? I would think you would notice the difference versus someone just taking your bike out for a spin.
