[QUOTE="ossagp, post: 167617, member: 1650"] Sounds like you are going to learn a lot in a short time. Dripping exhaust does indicate that it is rich. The float may be sticking and or need new parts. I can about bet it needs setting, which is free and easy. If you cant find the stock setting in a manual or the internet, get back to me and I can tell you how to do something useable. check the low speed air screw after you set the float. (clean the seat and the jets including the needle jet and holder while you are in there. looking at a schematic on bike bandit will help, if you don't have a manual. As for the clutch, you need to take that apart, get some calipers and start measuring the plate thickness to see if that is an issue and whether it is worth it to try to clean those plates up and reuse them. You already know that your "nothing to gain" starts didn't help matters. I hope you learned from it. Taking them out and cleaning them with 200 grit or so sand paper on glass and washing them off with brake clean may help. If they are burned unever or past the acceptable point you are spinning your wheels to try to use them. Save, save, save. Owning one even when you use the clutch right is not cheap. An older bike usually costs as much as a fresh one by the time you are done, but you can do it the installment way. [/QUOTE]
