Over the last 500 miles my 07 had become progressively harder to shift not wanting to go into first gear when cold and clunking and clanking most other times. The final straw was rolling up to a stop sign pulling in the lever and continuing to roll as the clutch did not disengage.

Dropped it off at the dealer Saturday and picked it up tonight and all i can say is WOW :yahoo: this is how this thing should work!! Yes I was another victum of dry/sticking clutch plates. They disasembled cleaned and soaked the plates and also bled the clutch master clyinder.

I can't believe the difference totaly different feel drops into gear click, upshift click, downshift click, and my clutch lever now has a very firm feel also.

I know others have posted about this problem but I just wanted to say do it yourself or see the dealer but you won't believe the difference!
