[QUOTE="ossagp, post: 186744, member: 1650"] When a clutch starts wearing it seldom is even wear. Springs go out along with plates. when you get uneven spring tension you get more drag than usual. any wet clutch is going to drag some, even at first. the dry ones which are few and far between almost act like the rig goes into neutral when the clutch is disengaged. but as soon as wear begins they will drag too. If you really want one that drags the least you can either change parts constantly or adjust the spring tension and or replace spings. Or you live without one that lets you put your bike into gear with the bike at idle, or sit and idle with the clutch disengaged. Spring adjusting now consists usually of the use of shims. back when we had ones where the spring studs were longer than now it was easier. I have found few spings in aftermarket kits that were all equal length or tension. easy to measure the length with calipers and shimming them. the problem is that in 20 hours or less they lose the adjustment.
