Clutch Creep TE610

2008 TE610 8500 miles.

Just went thru this bike and changed the oil, etc.
Finding neutral is a real beach, guess that's normal.
However the bike wants to creep/lurch when in gear with the clutch in when starting.

I've been told the clutch basket has worn parts in particular #26 and #53.

Any input on this is welcome. I haven't had a clutch apart since the 70's...

My 630 does that and it's brand-new. A quirk of the big TE's...

My 610 has always been like that, the clutch drags even when the lever is pulled all the way in.

Clutch creep and difficult shifting while stopped are correlated I believe.

Is it not something you guys can adjust and correct through the clutch perch adjuster?
When I squeeze the clutch lever on my 08 610sm, somewhere in the middle of the lever stroke it disengages the engine and it stops pulling

My 610 is the same way, I just roll it forward maybe a foot while messing with the shifter to get neutral. That seems to be enough.

Indeed, rolling into neutral is the easiest way

Found out why I was having aproblem. The clutch nut had come loose down on the lower bracket on the motor.
All good now.
