250-500cc 02 wr360 clutch noise (loud) help

I recently bought 02 wr 360 and have started to notice a lot of noise from the clutch. It seems to go away when the clutch is pulled in. I changed the oil with 80 w non Syn and didn't find any large chunks. Also the clutch tends to drag a bit as well. Almost out of adjustability on the cable. This is my first husky so any info would be appreciated . Is the noise common ?

I would take the clutch cover off and take clutch apart sounds like maybe the clutch hub nut is starting to back off. It is easy to chk and its good to catch it before it gets bad.

Oh ya,i know that noise- that niose fooled me into thinking my lower end had finally thrown in the towel! Got it apart to discover no end play and situation normal with bottom end_ went ahead and replaced piston - rings ,ect. while i was there. fired rite up- same damn noise! i've yet to dive into clutch -ill post findings when i do. 02 cr 250 (love the bike!-Bullet proof!)
