    Clutch switch shenanigans...

    I'm starting to have issues with the clutch switch. Is there an established cleaning procedure to perform? If I replace it, since it's a $106 part (you could replace just the $6 switch component itself on my Suzuki </gripe>), is the switch portion of it compatible with any of the later models...

    Slight movement at stoplight with clutch in

    Yesterday I was out on my 05 and when at a stoplight in first gear with the clutch pulled in, the bike moved forward just a little like the clutch wasn't fully engaged. It did it again when I got home in the garage. Other than that, it shifts like normal and seems to run exactly like it always has.
