KDX80 Clutch Plate Sticking
I just got a 1985 KDX80. The PO warned me that when cold, the bike will move in gear even with clutch pulled in. I believe he said clutch plates were sticking together until warmed up. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

Check the basket for grooves.
Congrats on the 1985 KDX80.

Hmmm. Turns out I dont know anything about these bikes. Should I take off clutch case to inspect basket? Thanks.

pull springs
pull fibers and metals
look at basket, the fingers will have grooves hammered into them. more than 1/32" means but a new basket. less means files then smooth, CAREFULLY and evenly

You could try changing the oil first and fill it with auto fluid
