Clutch getting tight

When my bike gets hot the clutch gets really stiff and wants to walk away. Also it doesn't want to adjust properly, in one way and it does nothing but slip and adjust it out a little and it wont go into gear when stopped....I don't even know where to start.

Have you taken it apart and looked at the plates? Sounds like they may be warped. If they are they may be slipping some as you ride, warping more with the heat. That would also make it hard to adjust. Haven't had that experience with a bike, but have seen it in wet clutches in other applications.

I sent a PM for him to contact me when he asked for help.
