[QUOTE="Dazza, post: 1462374, member: 99768"] Hi All, I just want to report an update to my initial post. After following some advice from participants in this thread, I tried putting the bike in gear and clutch in, when cold, and then starting the bike. Every time I did this the bike walked forward as the motor started. This implied the clutch had friction in it. I replaced the clutch fluid and the same symptoms occurred. I have just had the clutch friction plates replaced and the mechanic found that there were 2 friction plates in the center of the pack that were partially dry, thus causing friction. This probably occurred during assembly, with the plates not being correctly soaked in oil, or as a result of sitting in the showroom for 2 years before it was sold. Either way the problem has been resolved. Thanks to everyone for your input. [/QUOTE]
