After a winter in a shed, I rode it home 10 miles with no problems.
A good going over, brake overhaul etc followed.
I had the clutch cable off, lubricated it etc, refitted the cable and actuator (it was off for a few days in between)
I have adjusted the cable exactly as per the manual, and I can feel the biting point at about the right place when I rock it... but it is dragging badly.
I can hardly move it with it in gear and with the clutch in. I have tried over-adjusting it to no effect. It feels like the plates are sticking together.

I am desperate for help. If I cant fix it ASAP I will miss out on a free trip to the Isle of Man this weekend, and if no joy withing a few days then Hoghton Sprint could be off too - unless I pay big bucks for a Suzuki-man to deal with it.
Free drinks in Lancs for a solution that works. !!
