Use the WD40 trick and it will extend the time you can ride it before you
have to tear into it....
Put on side stand, place pan under engine/tranny....take out bellhousing
plug, start engine and spray clutch setup with WD40 until the crap coming
out the bottom is clean.....not a perment fix but kept me going last
year....

 Hi All,

Anyone ever had to deal with a grabby clutch? My new Eldo seems to do
this...more so when warm than cold. First gear is the toughest...not so
much
 of a problem when moving and going thorugh the rest of the gears.

My thoughts are that it is either an intermediate plate that warps as it
gets warm or the springs or push rod is binding a bit when the clutch is
eased out. Not the cables...they appear to be smooth.

Any info is appreciated....Ian
