[QUOTE="Checkswrecks, post: 512874, member: 3536"] Been there done that and it's an $15 fix with an hour or so of time. First, make sure the clutch master and slave are well bled out. One bubble and you get a dragging clutch, then the symptoms you describe. So far, you're into it for a $3 can of fluid. If still dragging, buy a clutch cover gasket, unstack the plates, lightly scrub them with a wire brush, and re-install them. Especially if your bike has been sitting some the plates tend to build a bit of goo between them, making the clutch drag. The clutch cover takes an $11 gasket. Basic allens and metric wrench set, with a bent-tip pick or piece of stiff wire to get out the last plate. The other buck is for a beer or two. [/QUOTE]
