Topic: 1980 Honda CB750C - Clutch Questions

Have done most work on the bike since purchasing it a couple of years ago, it was in bad shape. Looks good now, not restored but looks goods as a bobber style.

When starting out in 1st, need to bring the revs up high to release the clutch or will stall. Is this a worn clutch or another issue. Oil changes have regular and there is slight slack in the clutch cable per manuals. Just wanted other owners thoughts before replacing clutch plates. Also - best place to buy clutch plates, preferrably in Canada.

This does not sound like a clutch problem. How high do you have to rev the motor to prevent it from stalling?

I would say 2,000. If I don’t rev high it would stall. I can feel the friction in clutch as I let it out.  No issues with lag when driving or shifting gears.
