So, this (new-to-me) bike has been a real roller coaster. But, I'll get right to the point.
I've noticed some issues with shifting and engaging/disengaging the clutch. I've replaced the clutch cable and did all the adjustments in accordance with the tech manual.
It continued to have the same issues so, I've decided to replace the clutch plates and springs.
After using some of the online resources and finding out you can do this all with the engine in I took the challenge on.
After pulling the plates out... I saw the horrible "plate b"...
It was like a kick in the nuts....

Then the very last friction plate was a real pain to get out... and noticed all the friction material was worn off...
AND........

The outer drum has a worn scratch around it and the "circled" areas there are grooved nicks in the arms...
AAAHHHH!!!
I've changed the oil twice since I got it from the PO... I've never noticed any filings or metal bits.
So... am i screwed?
