thanks guys

im going to replace the plates..............considering everything else is new why not. i will check the plates for warping when i replace them just so i know if that is the cause of my issues.

the real strange thing is i had no clutch issues before the bike was stripped. the engine was dropped out and taken away for valve clearances. maybe i should have left the oil in there???

cant see how a plate would warp by not being used but stranger things have happened!!
