No idea. I will bring it to the mechanic to take another look at, meanwhile I ordered a set of OEM springs and longer + shorter rods just in case.

Are you sure you assembled the wave washer correctly?

My money is on this or the push rod.  These are nuances of this bike that your mechanic might not be familiar with.

Unless he Knows this bike, since he didn't take it apart, he might not know it even if he's looking straight at the problem. You need a book,or some body to who knows this bike to tell you if you got it right. I'm thinking we need Pictures,,

Yeah, that can certainly be a concern, he's a general mechanic working on all sorts of bikes, mostly Harleys. I'll get the new parts and he'll try to fix it, hopefully it works out.

In the end of the day, the bike is rideable as is, but I'm concerned with the type of wear I am putting on the new clutch when its dragging at a stop.

So I have put about 300 miles on the bike since the clutch replacement, and this it is still binding. Also, with the stronger springs the bike loves to pop wheelies - get hard on the throttle from the stop and the front pops up easily.

I can live with the way it is now, but I wonder if I am putting a lot of wear on the new clutch because it is dragging?
