Silly question but i'm gonna ask anyway..

With the bike on the centerstand clicking into first gear with the clutch pulled all the way in, the wheel is being driven... does this mean my clutch needs adjusting then? Embarassed Question Confused

No, mine does that as well, and in neutral (engine on). No idea why. Laughing

You've got plates spinning at a stupid rpm withing in milimeters of each other... if they don't touchslightly, it's probably going to be enough to turn the oil, which will inturn move the adjoining plates.

Nothing to worry about, providing when you rev the engine with the clutch in at a standstill (no brakes) it doesn't pull then.

Yep, the important thing is you've got a bit of slack in the cable when released.
