On my 1000 the clutch doesn't feel 100%

When cold or warm and idling the clutch is sapping power in neutral. The bike idles at 1500rpm but will only touch 1000rpm while the clutch is engaged the min you pull the lever in the bike idles fine at 1500.

And when taking off the bike judders violently if you don't take off slowly.

Now it only started doing this a day for two ago.

My riding has been no different. The odd clutch wheelie. But nothing to hard to damage the clutch I mean I have been taking it easy compared to my six.

Bah.

Any ideas.

On a car, that's usually a sign that one of the side thrust bearings on your crankshaft has collapsed! Never heard of it happening on a bike, though.
