It runs great now with the HT leads and vac pipe sorted.

It needs the oil seal on the clutch rod replacing now. That and a set of front pads and it's all tge urgent jobs done.

Tinkering can begin after that.

It leaks a little oil when hot so will order replacements. I'll change the oil again before it gets laid up for winter.

Not really been following the thread but have you changed the clutch jet?

After a search on here and AF1 it appears that the clutch drag issue is really common when cold?

HT leads are here today so I can get those on and the airbox etc back on

Yes clutch drag is common when cold, especially on the standard clutch jet, that I still have fitted, (yeh, I know, I keep meaning to change it, but just got used to it the way it is!)

I'll add a jet to the order then. See if that sorts it out.
