[size=1em]Slip and Drag are at the complete opposite end of the scales, but, both make riding almost impossible, slip is either a maladjusted clutch or cable, worn out friction plates (Most recommend changing friction and plain steel plates together) or shagged pressure springs (Not often that though, as the don't normally get hot enough running in oil to lose their tempering) Dry clutch springs can.[/size]
[size=1em]Drag can be caused by buckled or heat warped steel plates (Can also cause slip) burred tabs/lugs on both plain and friction plates, knackered grooves/flutes in the basket and/or clutch centre/hub, but not oil drag causing the bike to creep you should be able to stop a rear wheel turning on tickover with a bare hand if it is spinning because of oil drag, even if the oil is cold.[/size]
[size=1em]Not wanting to sound argumentative, but any welding sounds pretty bloody final for the clutch, if it ever needs to be removed or parts replaced, unless of course it is a widely known and used fix in the forum, but I would shy away from a welder personally. [/size]
[size=1em]A complete new clutch assembly cost a shed full of dosh, but there are a few Second Hand on eBay right now for £100 or less, but as you know you pays yer money and you takes yer chances, but if they have been taken out of a crash doner bike the chances are they are much better than yours.[/size]
[size=1em]I wish you well with the repair as summer is officially on its way and I have it on good authority (My arthritic wrist joint is beginning to feel a little easier) [/size]
Any way Graham you still have the 600, that will put a huge smile on your face
<<<<< there you go I told you it would
