Morning guys,
My clutch started sticking before I start her up ,if I pull the clutch in in gear and rock it it won't free up.
If I start it in gear it pulls a little but frees up.
Once riding its smooth but everytime I engage gear from a stop its a hard clunk any ideas ????
And if I start in neutral its a hard clunk too.

It sounds like the clutch is dragging just a bit. You should be able to adjust it for full release when the lever is pulled in fully.

the preliminary setting of 2-3mm of free play as measured at the lever.
