Need clutch help
Since I have put together back my engine I have had a grinding sound comming from the area where the clutch is located. I only get this grinding noise when I am releasing my clutch.
When I did my stud update I did take out the clutch so I could get to some of the bolts. Now I did put everything back together including ballbearing...
When I took the clutch plates out to inspect (was told to look at the bearing and that was ok) I found that the last metal plate looked like it was rubbing the pressure plate. I also notice that the clutch plates did not have lots of trans fluid between them, they looked kinda dry but not completely. So my thoughts are that the last clutch plate keeps following off when the clutch is engaged causing it to rub against the pressure plate.
Has anyone seen this before? Any suggestions?
I have a hydraulic clutch, bleeded the cluch line as instructed
What is the proper way to adjust the clutch relase collar?
What keeps the plates oiled with tran fluid?
In the end I have never had a hydraulic clutch so I don't know much about adjusting.

in the middle of the clutch relase collar there is a nut with a set screw in the middle... now I know that the manual states to loosen up the nut then full turn the set screw in and back out 3 full turns. However when I do this and test it out, when the clutch is fully engaged the bike still rolls forward. So that tells me that the set screw is out to far, so I guess I am just going to have to start and adjusting that set screw in a little at a time. Perhaps the grinding noise that I hear is drying plates because the clutch relase collar is not opening enough to get the plates free and oil into them..... am I on the correct path of thinking here?????

First and last plate should be steel.
Thick fibers used 8 fibers and 9 steels.
Thin fibers used 9 fibers and 10 steels.
When adjusting the clutch loosen up nut and screw set screw in all the way.This means you will be forcing the hydro clutch back into housing so you will feel resistance.Once it bottoms out back it off 3 turns.
A snap ring pliers can be used to hold the ring to keep it from turning when tightening the lock nut on set screw.
Could be you misunderstood on the adjustment and only went in with set screw till resistance was felt.Needs to bottom out.
