sounds like you just need new plates, aint hard to do...or its unlikely but maybe you busted the clutch cable...its rare if you take care of your cables though

If your bike is creeping i dont think it would be a clutch plate problem, its something else in the motor. And if you clutch cable broke, id think you'd know...

Only thing that would really cause your bike to creep is if your clutch is out of adjustment and is not completely disengaging.

The only thing that i took apart was the head and that shouldnt have anything to do with the clutch. I have no clue what to do i think im just gonna rip it apart and see what stuff looks like and if it dont look go and replace it. Thats the only thing i can really do!! Ill keep you posted. Keep comin with the ideas tho. They might help sometime or another!

IM serious, back your clutch cable adjustment off before you go ripping into your motor

I tryed adjusting the clutch cable. But this is what happens when i first go riding it works fine but as it starts to get warm she dont work anymore. Im gonna try changin the oil and see if that helps it out. If not time to pull out the tools!!

how bad does it creep? "but as it starts to get warm she dont work anymore". Is it a slow creep, or when you pull the clutch it doesnt work at all?
