I'm slowly losing the will to live with this clutch problem! Took the plates off, cleaned them up, soaked them in new oil and re-assembled. The steels were all nice and shiny with no discolouration or warping. The friction plates seem to be okay but not sure how thick the fibre pads should be on them. Some of the edges on the outer teeth on the friction plates are a bit 'shiny' where I guess they have worn a bit. The pressure plate seems much more free and moves forward easily enough but not a massive amount (not sure how much it should lift off). I left the clutch cover off so we could see what was happening and the bike still won't roll forward in gear with the clutch lever pulled. (Obviously rolls easily enough in neutral). Have heard that sometimes the ball bearing gets crushed but that was all intact. There is some wear mid-way along the push-rod but not sure how significant that is. The bike is only 20 months old and has done 3500km so wouldn't think I would need a new clutch but I'm definitely no expert. I'm willing to try a new clutch cable and new plates if you guys think that could be the problem.
