Have you pulled the throw out bearing since you got the bike?
A regular examination (every year or two) is not a bad idea - especially the early version.

Thanks for the tip Rob.
I've yet to get to the clutch spline lube.
When I do I should check out the throw out bearing as well.
Cheers,

On a 1979 R65 that had been parked for a long time, the clutch was very grabby. I tried a lot of things and finally replaced the whole clutch package, which was a little spendy. The only think that was out of spec was the diaphragm spring. I am pretty sure I could have saved some money and just replaced that. It is smooth as silk now.
