Hi guys have been doing some work to my vfr400 nc30 had it just over a week now when i picked it up the clutch was very notchy to disengauge i have put a new cable on and just stripped and grease the relaese mech' all is working fine but the clutch is still horrible not a smooth action to pull in, so what is most likely problem must now be an internal clutch assembly problem any ideas regards Phil

mine was nasty and whilst replacing it i noticed that the clutch basket faces where the friction plates sit were worn , so im told it can cause the plates to stick/catch?

Could be a worn clutch basket, remove the plates and inspect the fingers.. if they have ridges in them then this is your problem.

Also.. how olds the oil? Drop it and replace it with some 10/40 semi-synth is good.

You have kinda narrowed it down to what it could be.
My guess would be the basket it worn.

Look at my video on YouTube or in the workshop section and it goes through a bit on the clutch basket i think.

Forget now, been a while since i did it.

cheers guys will have a look
