[QUOTE="jmics19067, post: 486716, member: 27963"] Yes when you see the "fingers" of the clutch basket notched out where the tangs of the fiber plates ride is what most people mean when they say the clutch basket is notched. Ideally they should be smooth and straight so as stated earlier the plates can move freely. here is a few other things to check also; clutch lever,perch and cable, make sure that they are all in good operating condition adjusted correctly and properly routed. make sure that the basket or the inside hub isn't notched make sure that the clutch plates or the pressure plate aren't warped or having the clutch material break off the fiber plates and stuck to the metal plates< although I have never actually seen this on wet clutches I have seen it on dry clutches> make sure that there isn't a broken spring,plate or some other foriegn material preventing the pressure plate to release fully when you pull the lever worn clutch basket bearings,loose retaining nut could allow the clutch to drag by stealing the force used to release the pressure plate in the sloppiness. Usually the bike would be vibrating,rattling while idling in neutral and quiets down when pulling in the clutch. the only thing that would be left would be the clutch arm/pushrod assembly. depending on the bike some of these have adjustments or can be assembled ina specific manner to operate correctly. Your manual should be able to give you the information you need to be able to check all of this . Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
