I have just fitted inverted brake and clutch levers.
Bike was working fine before, engine was without oil for about 8 weeks.
But before looking at sticking plates
I was wondering if anyone knew how many degrees the bolt moves (under the left hand side adjustment cover) when pressing and depressing the stock clutch levers, or if someone would be kind enough to pop the cover and do a quick video.
 
That looks great thanks for the info.

I took off the right cover to inspect the clutch plates and movement.
Not sure if they are sticking plates or just staying together due to the oil on them, but when I pull the clutch it moves the end pressure plate away but the friction and steel plates stay together, but I can separate them easily with a small flat head.
Is this normal?
 
So when I opened the right cover the pressure plate was separating from the clutch and steel plates either by using the clutch or adjusting the worm gear bolt all the way in, but when in gear there feels like there still more than normal resistance when trying to roll it myself.
 
If you can push it around in gear with the clutch lever pulled then you are probably good. Maybe a little adjustment of the worm screw adjuster after you get it riding but I would move on.
