Clutch newbie Question

#1 Unread post by CNF2002 »

Okay sorry for the noob question! I have a buell blast with a wet clutch and noticed that when the bike is off I can pull in the clutch while in gear and it still drags a little. There's a definate difference between clutch in while in gear versus neutral. Once the bike is on I have no problem with the clutch in, rolls fine, and I have no problems shifting.

Is this just a normal clutch operation?

Whitey is righty and the drag will become much less when the oil is up to running temps, but still there.
No Witnesses.... :shifty:
