[QUOTE="Holger, post: 44985, member: 2894"] Firstly... Thanks for all the input on this question. I checked the clutch in terms of running true on the shaft and there was no problem on that front. I dismantled the clutch and got stuck into the steel plates with some 600 wet and dry. I dipped the plates in turps to add the "wet" bit to the wet and dry. I had this suggested to me by a Ducati owner who reckons there is an issue with the steel plates ending up with a glaze when the clutch is used hard. There was a noticeable change in the surface of the steel plates after rubbing them down, going from shiny with noticeable marking to a flat matt metal finish. On reassembly and using ATF instead of 0W30, the clutch is much, much better and is now "amost human". Not as easy as the dry clutch on my Commando but pretty good. I will wait the mandatory 4 months or 400 miles before coming to a final assessment on the outcome. Thanks again to all those who contributed. Holger [/QUOTE]
