How can you tell if your clutch is wore out? I read a post that if it pulls a little bit in 1st gear with the clutch ingaged it is wore out. This has me worried I noticed mine oulling alittle but think it might just be my clutch adjustment. Any other signs.

Thanks

Your clutch will slip when you are hard on the throttle when its wore out. If your bike creeps in gear it could be cable adjustment or maybe the basket is notched

You can pull your fiber plates and mic them with a set of calipers. If they're thinner than the min. spec (check your manual, call your dealer...) then they're in need of replacement.

Some bikes have a little bit of "clutch drag" at all times - my ATK is notorious for this value-added feature ;). I'm sure there are other bikes that exhibit this as well. However, if it's something nre on your specific bike I would check adjustments, etc.
