OK, so the "cough" Impulse is slowly getting there (initial enthusiasm wained :( ) have noticed that with the clutch pulled in and engage gear, the bike is trying to creep forward a little. So the clutch is not holding it right ? also its very hard shifting through the gears and neutral is hard to find with the engine running ,so i am hoping that this confirms that the clutch needs adjusting right ?

Whats the procedure for adjusting the clutch ?

please and thank you, and as usual feel free to take the piss as well ;) ;)

Did you have the plates out at all? When i changed my clutch it did the same thing for the first few hours running in but now its sweet. Heavier springs made it engage quicker so i only let the lever out about 10mm before it starts to engage.

No mate. clutch was one of the few things i didnt touch (should work then :) ) - just had a quick look at the gsxr400 pdf i have, and i will have a go at adjusting the clutch tomoz.
