clutch troubles

All of your symptoms point to the clutch. Make sure your cable is adjusted properly. If so, when did you last replace the clutch plates? The tranny oil should be replaced, at a minimum, yearly. If you swap out clutch plates, this will necessitate replacing the oil (it tends to drain out when you open the clutch cover :confused: ). Do you find it difficult to find neutral while the bike is running? If you're going to disassemble the clutch cover, examine the actuator assembly to make sure nothing is broken, missing, etc.

100% normal. Forgetaboutit!
Regarding shifting, it might be the boots if they are new.

i looked in the service manuel last night and i found out everything leads to too high of a viscosity level in the oul meaning its to tick and i dont think the guy before ever changed the tranny oil.plus at another forum thats wat a kdx rider told me and he had the same problem. ill do this and it should be aight.

I had those problems when using ATF type F. I went back to 10w30 and its fine now. Maybe your oil is the issue???
