[QUOTE="b'knighted, post: 23845, member: 59"] If the pushrod is tight, the clutch has a right to be disengaged. I agree that if you are a plate short it will need a shorter pushrod but first check the adjustment on the external adjuster that alters the position of the lever pivot inside the kickstart cover. Jumping straight to a Honda clutch seems a bit extreme if the Burman clutch components are in reasonable nick as these items can be made to work even with the A Twin's power. Making a shorter pushrod (or shortening the existing one) would be an easier first step. Two plain plates together will not cause a particular problem so long as the plate being pressed against the friction plate is driving the clutch hub. Reference to WitakerPedia 3.4c may help out although I believe this may be difficult before the system recognises you as a VOC member.
