Thanks Ted, now ordered :-)

Hi all, firstly thank you all for your help and support off the now fixed issue :-)

firstly, I replaced the adjuster purchased from CMS, mine was well worn but did not make any difference, so for future reference to others, maybe check some less costly things first. this didd seem  the most logical item to replace for me.

Second, changed the cable (she came with a new cable, so the PO probably thought this was the problem?), brought new one closer to original spec although is slightly shorter than the original, this agin did not make any noticable change.

Lastly took to the clutch springs, in my haste to get thing under way, I ordered some EBC ones but did not realise until they arrived that they were heavy duty springs (15%).... When checking against the ones on the bike, the EBC were thinner?? replaced them, torqued to spec and ....... the clutch works great :-) No idea what springs were put on the bike but if anyone wants them the use as an excersize machine, I will happly post to you FOC :-)
first pic new EBC spring on the bottom,

Thank you all again for your help and support.

Excellent news and glad HD EBC feel good, it's what I have and I am super happy with my clutch.

You never know for certain what has been fitted in the past!!!

Good to know you have got the problem sorted👍 and great that you have posted the solution which is bound to help someone else down the line, plus you have some extra new parts for the bike. Oh and some unidentified extra heavy duty clutch springs😂  bound to be someone with a tractor that wants them.
