Hey guys!

I need your help. My Drifter has a shifting problem, when I turn the bike on and let it warm, the gears work perfectly, however, when I ride it for around 15 to 20 min, it seems like the clutch disks stay together and does not move forward, I stop the bike and try to engage 1st gear, however it stays on neutral and I have to wait for the bike to cool to continue riding, any thoughts ablut it?

This is a classic symptom of a partially plugged bypass (or equalizing port) in the clutch master cylinder.  As you exercise the clutch a few times, pressure builds in the circuit which can't release back to the master cylinder as the port is clogged.  Eventually enough pressure builds that the clutch stays disengaged.  If you stop for a while, pressure releases slowly through the partially clogged port and the clutch will work again - for a while.

clutch lever feel normal? When did you last change engine oil? Does the bike creep forward when it's in gear and the clutch pulled in?
