After finally getting everything together and firing her up I started to go down the alley gradually letting out the clutch and going along when I heard a very loud metallic PING and what felt like the back tire jolting. After I brought it back to the driveway I did the same thing only very slowly while my brother looked at the rear wheel and discovered when it pinged the rear wheel spun really fast for a half second kicking up a bunch of gravel and sliding before coming to a stop again.
I noticed that the clutch wasn't springy and rather jerky as I was moving about. I adjusted the clutch cable to proper specifications earlier but it got knocked around pretty good when I took out the airbox and carbs to rebuild.
Naturally I assume the clutch slipping and the clutch plates need to be replaced? What is your imput on the matter? If I do need new plates or even a new clutch assembly does anyone have any recommendations on new/used clutch plates? Should I try to find a clutch assembly on eBay or should I just buy new plates? Haven't investigated the clutch workings yet but thought I would get some imput before I bought a clutch aseembly/take apart my clutch.
