    got an 09 wr300- runs awesome. Clutch works perfect. I just noticed a new "click" in the clutch though.
    So if bike is not running. And If I squeeze in the clutch and release , a secon d after releasing I hear a click in the clutch. Justdidnt know if I should be concerned or ?

    Pull the cover and operate clutch will give you better indication of where its coming from, may have wear notches in basket fingers.

    It's easy enough to pull the cover and locate the click noise. Might be a notched basket. That would be a good time to adjust the lower clutch lever arm geometry which makes the pull easier and the engagement smoother and cleaner.

    Could be return spring in slave cylinder just clicking back as it uncoils, where is the noise coming from exactly?

    An 09 WR300 has a cable clutch, did you install a hydraulic magura or something?

    The reason I asked is because sometimes the magura because of no free play will cause the clutch pushrod in the center of the clutch basket to start spinning until it wears a hole in the flat of the pivot arm shaft. This usually doesn't happen on the models with a ball bearing on the end (like a Yamaha) or center (like some other bikes) of the clutch pushrod but it's something to have a look at while you have the cover off. When it happens it kinda reminds me of a primitive bow drill used to start a fire.
