Hello China riders

Is it time to replace my clutch ? :(

Speaking about my 2001 ttr 225

Lately my bikes been a pain to shift. Stiff shifter and seems like it's "clunking" into gear.

At first I thought I was due for an oil change. So I did that
Used rotella 10w40 this time

At first I thought it was good but was still a hard shift.

Then I started thinking the clutch was slipping. But thought maybe it was just spinning the tire. I had my brother ride behind me and we were fairly certain it was just spinning.

But it still dident feel right.
So today
We were on a little stretch of pavment so I held front brake slightly and cracked on it in 3rd going fairly slow. She revved right up :(

So now my question
Do I need a clutch ?

Do I replace just friction disks

Or do an entire kit

I don't really want to open it up just to inspect it. Rather open it up and fix the problem if there is one.

I'm still going to ride it for the time being. I'll just go easy on er lol

Thanks for your opinions

Dave
