Clutch or Gearbox? Or Both?

If you do replace the clutch plates dont get ebc ones they break easily, broke 3 of mine in 500 miles.

Doh! Somehow I thought you meant the pressure plate bolts.

Probably worded badly, but both actually! If not careful you can strip the pressure plate bolts too, though you've got to be pretty hamfisted.

Did the clutch start dragging after changing the oil? after i changed the oil in mine i had an issue with it creeping forward when the revs rised but only when the bike was cold, spoke to my local garage and he said that it sometimes happens after changing the oil but wasn't sure why and told me to keep an eye on the oil level and see what it was like after a few rides about a week later all was fine and its been fine for the last 6 months can't help with the slipping clutch problem though sorry

Cheers everyone for the advice, now all I need is a dry day and I'll check out all the things you mention. Thanks again.
