Pop to your nearest horsey-type shop and buy a can of "Flexalan" leather oil (

Re your clutch drag prob, it may not even be the hydraulic release mechanism, on my 2001 Sherco a lot of use caused the "ears" on the clutch plates to wear slots in the clutch drum "arms", this stops the plates from separating properly when the clutch is pulled in = drag even when hot. If the slots aren't too deep sometimes you can dress them out with a file, if they're too bad it's a new clutch drum/primary gear set. This prob affects lots of trials bikes ridden on the clutch all the time, hope this helps!

New Ossa looks cool but how many times have us older wobblers seen radical designs either scare people off or prove to be disasters with the proud new owners copping for it? Don't want to sound negative but how hot is that bike going to run on roadwork (SSDT) with the fuel tank sat in front of the rad? USD forks were all the rage 20 years ago but got binned cos of bulk up high and they were TOO rigid. I really hope the bike's great but let's give them a couple of years to iron out the wrinkles, they all look pretty when they're new! Birks for new importer?!
