Hi Greg,
You've probably already checked this, but you might want to give the
clutch cable a good examination for frays, etc. I had one that was
fraying that gave me very similar symptoms. Not saying that's the
problem, but worth a look, anyway.

When it gets hot, it drags enough that I can never find neutral at a stop if I have ANY freeplay at all in the clutch cable. In Seattle traffic, this is unacceptable. On rides, I find myself tightening the adjuster sometimes, even though there was no real freeplay to begin with, as the clutch drags more and tries to pull me into intersections. What I experience is the freeplay getting larger as the bike gets hot. |
