Hi all.
My new to me 99 gen 1 with 30k miles had a slipping clutch, so I took the cover off to take a look inside.
Everything was stock. The friction plates are still in spec (barely) and I scrubbed the steel plates. Also did an oil change.
Slipping stopped, but now it seems the clutch is dragging, specially at low speed, with noisy gear shifting, and I have a very hard time setting to neutral while stopped, with the shift pedal very stiff.
The problem is worse after ridding the bike for a while.
There were some dents in the clutch basket and boss, so I think that's what causing the problem.

Is this fixable with some sanding, or should I start looking for replacements?
