if your clutch and gear change lever are ok, sometimes an engine flush and fresh oil can help

Thanks chaps. I plan on the oil change for winter and will go from there.
Have plenty of clutch plates to test with and will make sure the cable is in spec.

Is this one up in the miles?
Ridges in the clutch basket where the plates contact can cause this.

Ahhh the clutch cable freeplay spec is 8 to 12 mm ...not miles. That may be the problem! Will know by summer.
