hmmm. That is interesting. I went to the dealer the other day to ask the same question and price parts for the clutch assembly. They said that they have been replacing components of the clutch around 25000. The mechanic at the shop said similarly that I might have just smoked the pressure plates. He said more than likely that is what it is. I do a lot of rush hour riding so I am slipping the clutch alot in traffic. Out here in po dunk ville there are a lot of stop signs with long ques so I am on and off the clutch alot. But even so, I am not excessive with my slipping into gear. In cases like those I usually clunk it into gear so as not to heat up the clutch. My clutch lever is set right with the appropriate amount of slack and the clutch usually starts to grab right about 1/3 of the release of the lever. I thought that was the appropriate setting for the clutch. Are there any other ways to adjust it??
