Hi Strongbow, welcome aboard

Some owners have had this problem when using fully synthetic engine oil instead of semi-synthetic

Hi

Thanks for the reply but ive been told that semi synthetic oil was used at the last service.

Basically the standard springs are a bit fiddler so fit aftermarket ones for much improved clutch action
(and you can clutch up wheelies in third!)
