David - thanks for the reply..  (First time I've corresponded with a fellow from NZ.  Very nice to do so.)

Clutch adjustment seems fine..  Bike is easy to start, in gear, with the clutch pulled in.  And it seems not to pull at all when in gear, with the clutch pulled...

Lever seems to be OK, though, on my next ride, I plan to make some big changes in adjustment - just to see if it changes the symptoms noticeably.  Lever does not brush against anything during it's motion.

Shift shaft may be bent, I have not inspected it.  I have only removed the side cover and done a visual inspeation of what I could see, with the clutch plates and basket still on the bike.  Did not see anything wrong with shift star..

I love your term "rattlegun."  I am sure you mean "air impact wrench" - but I like your name for it much better.  I have said tool, but there is a special socket required  for the retaining nut.  I may try to cook up a special socket to see if I can get the nut off.  (I hate to have a dealer do a lot of work, especially if I can do the work myself.)

Thank You again David!
