I have now fitted new EBC clutch plates (ck1133). I have also checked steel plates for Warpage (I lay them on a sheet of glass) no Warpage I could measure with a feeler gauge. Also have put putoline S4 mineral oil 10w40 in bike.The clutch still drags I have adjusted bolt in then out 1/4 turn 25 mm free play on leaver I have even tried adjusting bolt with no slack clutch plates seem to be sticking together any ideas

There's not that much margin to lift the plates clear on them, every little bit counts in reality.

Suggest a set routine to put everything toward maximum lift to see what you get;- disconnect cable first, turn centre adjust screw all the way in to feel it touch down on the lift mechanism, then back out just a fag paper amount to only just "untouch" it if that makes sense.

That should have the operating arm at about 7/8 o'clock point without the cable connected to it.

Now fit cable and set slack at lever to 10mm at lever end, check that you can feel no tension in cable when released to make sure it's not now holding the operating mech in contact with plates.

Try it now to see what it does.

If the clutch heats up during use, then the thrust bearing moves away from the mechanism (you get more slack in the lever) so that's not a risk.
If, when, the plates wear though it will move clutch pack closer to mechanism and may eventually slip if not checked periodically through bedding new plates in.
In other words, if this is successful, go back and check again mech clearance with that centre screw in reasonable mileage to avoid it being just a little too tight.

Pauarc:
I will try that at weekend I have tried it in different ways but will have a go that way
