If the clutch plates are new - or been standing out of engine for some time, they need soaking in oil before fitting :wink:


hi mark the clutch plates came from your rusty donor heap [no offence] they may only have been soaked on the bottom edge due to standing :?: hopefully they should be ok

Looking good. Amazing how a good paint job transforms a bike. Well smart and looking back at what you started with, many people may have chucked the towel in. Well done !
