check fingers of clutch basket for groove marks.

lay bike on right side. take outer clutch cover off. look and see if there's lotsa wear on basket fingers... but usually worn basket just makes engagement/disengagement grabby

you should pull the pressure plate, and pull the plates and measure them for spec. you'll need a micrometer. you maybe able to measure semi-accurately with a caliper... also check the metal plates and see if they're flat (piece of glass and feeler gauges) - i would think warped metal plates would cause your problem more than clutch basket..

you can also pull the clutch lever when the cover is off and see if the plates are separating..

oh yeah, the gasket is definitely reuasble.

i use mtl xl 2 stroke trans fluid. clutch has never dragged.

did you bleed the slave to make sure it's not just an air bubble?
