I have finished a significant amount of work bringing back my R75/5 from a number of years off the road, including a valve job, new rings, replacing most rubber parts, rebuilding both Bings, new coils. plug wires and plugs, solid state voltage regulator, new AGM battery, new starter, etc. Now that I have been able to start putting some road time on it, I find the clutch grabs quickly as I let out the lever. I have it adjusted so the friction point is at a good spot on the lever, allowing an inch or so release before the clutch engages, but when it does engage, it does it more abruptly than my previous R75/5 did. My buddy thinks it may improve as I use the bike. I hope I don't have to tear into it further to replace the clutch.
Any opinions about whether the clutch will engage more smoothly as I put some miles on it? (It probably has the factory OEM clutch, with around 30,000 total miles on it.)
TIA
