Clutch
 
Since my off where the bike slid down its l/h/s, when its in gear with the clutch in it still pulls forward quite a bit. Any ideas what this could be or how i could fix it?

Doesnt do it in neutral and didnt do it in gear before.

Any help much appreciated:smt100

Probably stating the obvious but might be worth messing around with the adjuster at the lever (locknut and adjuster wheel combo thing) first and if that doesn't do much check the clutch release gubbins behind the front sprocket cover for signs of manglement.

First step anyway, I'll think of something more technical when I've finally gotten some sleep :D

Checked both, thanks for advice but both seem fine any more ideas?

Does it only drag when cold, or drag all the time? I suspect the clutch needs some serious adjustment, both on the cable and worm-drive doo da.

At cold, the clutch can drag a little bit and make the bike pull forward a teeny bit until the oil is warm, when you are in first with the clutch right in
