Been out in my striker after work tonight for a tickle about (still getting used to it) didn't push it to hard probably didn't rev over 7000 and didn't go over around 60 mph. When I got home I pulled up my slopping drive in second gear and stopped, when I tryed to get it into neutral it wouldn't go in or into any other gear. I switched it off found neutral and restarted but when I put it into first I could feel it pulling forward. Thinking maybe its hot I waited about an hour jumped back in tryed again and it was worse, when I put it into gear holding the foot brake it was almost stalling.
Anybody got any ideas, I've tryed googling but can't find a great deal.

A dragging clutch could just be too much slack in the cable. If it's new and was OK before, then it could just be a result of bedding in of the plates, or settling in or initial stretch of the cable, or maybe the cable breaking nor bracket bending or nipple slipping on the cable.

There are other potential (and more serious) causes but thats where I'd start.

I think they have a master cylinder on these not cable as this is how they are on the bike,

Might need a re bleed if so in caesar any air in there?

Check also peddle is engaging the clutch do you have a clutch stop peddle etc?

Make sure it's not moved etc as clutch cant fully engage,

It is hydraulic with what I think is a Westfield made cylinder and bracket/lever that gives the pedal twice as much travel than if it had a standard cylinder.

I'll try bleeding it the weekend, fingers crossed its nothing serious.

Thanks for the advise
