Had a problem with the clutch . Theclutch handlewould have lots of free play all of a sudden! Readjusted to proper free playthen after a while it would have no free play! then "wham":shock:it wouldn't disingage at all!!So put bikeup on center stand & removed clutch cover & removed clutch center and plates and found in the center of the clutch stack a kind of damper (2 steel plates held together by some spring steel strips that were riveted to each plate) half the rivets sheared and the short spring steel strips all bound up on one side of plate. Caused a narrow groove on inside of Clutch basket. just going to clean up burrs & smooth out any rough area and r&r it. hopefully it will solve the problem. FYI for all you wingers out there.
