    I may be all wet, but I think my clutch is dragging...

    Because my rear wheel rotates ever so slightly when in Neutral and a bit more when in gear but clutched.

    You can feel the pull if you stop the rotation with a finger.

    I'm guessing this is NOT normal and my clutch needs to be looked at?

    To me that is normal. As long as it is disengaging enough to select a gear at a stoplight.

    it's a wet clutch, there is gonna be fluid connection even when the trans is in neutral, so you will get some drag.

    If you can stop it easily with a finger than that's normal, at least it is for all of my 5 bikes.

    OK, thanks. Like I said, when it comes to Gears, even the US Army told me "find something else to do"... so I learned how to kill Cities rather than fix Trucks...
