How tight do the five bolts have to be done up on the clutch? are they reamed up tight? or finger tight?.
Cheers

Just nipped up I think in a criss-cross manner, not very tight off the top of my head. Someone may correct me or give you the correct figures.

Yea, their only an M6 10mm head, so half a spanners leverage should be enough.
Duo to the spring pressure there releasing themselves is very unlikely.

Are there notches in the fingers of the clutch basket

.
Are the cable and arm at the end of the cable able to move freely without resistance

The whole clutch lever, cable assembly are new, and the basket is in pretty good shape as well, so all I can assume is the oil is too sticky, I am using silcolene medium weight gear oil which has not caused a problem before.
