My clutch sticks when not running and can usually be broken free but once in a while it is pretty stuborn. Would there be anything wrong with elastic or something to keep the clutch lever pulled while the bike sits so the clutch doesn't have the opportunity to stick. I saw that suggested for cars and wondered if it would be OK with the clutch springs on the OSSA. Thanks for any thought on this. Jim

Yes it will weaken the clutch springs. If you roughen the surfaces of the steel plates it will stop it sticking

Try changing the gear box oil to ATF automatic gearbox oil. Warm the bike up afterwards, ride it for a while making sure you use the clutch a lot, and you should find that after 20-30 minutes use it will stop any clutch drag and prevent them sticking when not in use.
