clutch bite point moving

[warby221]

Need to pick some brains
This is on my Viffer but it has the same hydraulic clutch layout as the storm

I’ve checked the hydraulic over and there’s no sign of a leak

The bite point on the clutch is all over the place some times it’s close in to the bar with the clutch being fully disengaged just a few millimetres after and sometimes the lever is almost fully out before the clutch is fully disengaged. Also when sat at the lights with the clutch in the clutch can start to drag

Now I’m thinking it’s got a warped plate in the clutch I.E different amounts of heat in the plates altering the amount of warp hence the bite point moving about
Just wanting to run it past a few heads before I go opening the engine up and see what you think or if anyone has another idea that may need checking

Had it out and cleaned it mike first thing I thought of
O and the plates seem to be moving ok looking through the filler had the leaver pinned to the bar over night and the clutch didnt sink back
should have put that in the first post

i'd agree with that tbh - looks like it has to come out.
just a thought, what's the engine oil level like & is it shitty?
my cbx used to drag a bit when it got hot - i didnt realise how quick the fker consumed the black stuff!
proper oil in, level set right (preferred it a bit high tbh) new set of plates from silvers & all was good. still is!

Any graunchy noises when launching hard?
(Proper 3K drop clutch dragstrip launch, I mean).

If so maybe big bearing behind clutch?

Nup 9k starts are were no problem till I couldn’t be sure of the bite point
Think I’m going to have to open it up and have a look see what’s going on
Pretty cretin it’s going to be a problem with the clutch plates or basket
