Dragging Clutch help
 
I have a 99 curvy and the clutch is dragging making it difficult to find neutral etc.

Its not usually a problem as I only use the bike for pleasure and have adapted my riding style to find neutral when aproaching lights etc rather than when at rest and the clutch is under load.

I'm just about to start using the bike to commute and it could become a problem with city riding.

I've done all the usuall adjustments at both end of the clutch cable but can not adjust the drag out.

What could it be??? Stretched clutch cable/new worm screw/new clutch plates/steels??

Any ideas ppl?

Searches on "Clutch Adjustment" will bring up such threads as this one. Sid Squid's comments should be a 1st point od call:

Also check chain tension and engine oil level.When was the oil last changed,as that also can affect clutch function.
