I have a America 2007 which is my first bike. I bought it in 2014 and do about a 1000 miles per year going to work. I use the America pretty much all year round.

Being a first bike I had to get to know the America with no issues apart from the clutch. no matter where I set the cable setting the clutch either drags or slips. Also every gear change either is silent or a loud clunk. Not knowing much about this bike I took it to the dealer, they took a ride and said everything was fine.

That was last year. About a month ago I noticed the clutch was getting worse, very difficult to change gears or slipping. The bike has done 9800miles and I read that the stock springs are weak so I bought a set of EBC heavy duty springs and fiction plates with the plan to swap them on Friday. I have the Manual and build race cars so I don't have any fears of swapping the clutch myself.

Could the drive plates be warped?

Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Thanks


Chris (America 2007)
