Clutch Dragging On 01 280txt

My clutch is dragging on my 01 280 to the state that I can't find neutral at all before a section. Pretty easy when the bike isn't running, but a little embarrassing.

I've seen the comments on the US Gas Gas site about measuring the clutch plates and that they expand.

The problem I have is I don't know where to start. Give me a Haynes manual and I'll work it out (or hit it with a bigger hammer!)

How easy is it to open the cases, check the the clutch plates and replace them or do I need to take it into a dealer.

All the best,

Rob.

Rob, the clutch design on your '01 is totally different than the Pro clutches. In your case, I'd look at the hydraulics first for a dragging problem. Try bleeding the hydraulics with new fluid and see if that helps.
