Hi Tomy4x Martin was spot on, I changed the lot, Apico steel plates and friction plates, the difference is incredible, zero drag, easy selection of gears and neutral, can even kick start it in gear! Purchased mine from eBay they are advertised as replacement parts for the Honda CR 250. The plates came with new springs, I fitted them but the clutch lever became very stiff, so I replaced them with the originals and everything worked perfectly.

Hi Martin You're probably right, it will be my next purchase. Just curious to why I had a clutch with slight drag and then after tampering with the oil and plates a clutch with lots of drag? Thanks for the reply.

Hi guys New to this forum, recently purchased a 1997 315r and the clutch drag problem has appeared! So after reading certain posts I decided to change the oil, I obtained some good quality ATF and yes you guessed it, no change, if anything slightly worse! I liked the quick fix mentioned by "waltz" so tried that next, you guessed it again, even worse no clutch! What did I do wrong, I did get slightly carried away with the dimpling and did both sides, should both sides be dimpled? After dimpling I rubbed up the plates with some wet n dry to remove any burrs. Is it time I stopped being tight and purchased an apico replacement clutch? Thanks in advance if I get a reply. Loving tinkering and reading the forum:-)
