I'll start by saying that you just made a great post,then I'll say that my father(doctor corey)said the comment that you replied too.I also appreciate the thought of switching to the the '97 spec pressure plate,I'm buying a '98 motor for parts and I hope that part will solve the problem that I share with my father about the clutch.Thanks for the useful advice!Oh and for future reference I only adjust my valves when they are almost visibly loose,and my bike has ran in motocross races for the last four years without problems(regular maintenance aside). :twisted:

Well,Dale, now that we're agreed only to a degree, I will stand behind my comment about many users trying to adjust their own valves. Yes, while it is true that many have been able to physically perform the procedures, later they experience mysterious failures, often catastrophic failures due to assembly problems like overtorqueing, mis-adjustment, etc. I'm a mechanic by trade, and I'll state that if I broke my arm, or needed to prescribe medication for an ailment, I wouldn't try to repair myself: I'd get a professional to handle these tasks. I would never look down on anyone for NOT being mechanically talented, nor would I kick myself because I can't write my own anti-spyware program. If you're not set up to work on your own bike, and if you can afford it, take it to someone who can do it right (I'll admit this can be as difficult as fixing it yourself). Past this, I'll say again that Husaberg owners are very lucky to have a forum like this to turn to for help and support. By the way, my dragging clutch is not a result of mis-adjustment. It only occurs when the oil is cold, and is at worst a slight inconvenience. Anyway, Dale, maybe I'll try the 97 spec. pressure plate if I ever find an extra c-note lying around. 8)
