when i start my 04 up to ride, the clutch slips until it gets heated up... i've taken the clutch apart and checked the plates out and they look like new... changed the oil. i'm using the honda hp4 stuff. if i hold the front brakes and slip the clutch for a little bit and heat them up, they grab like crazy, but until i get any kinda heat in the plates they slip like crazy.. my basket is good and the pressure plate shows no sign of wear. i thought it was the plates but hwen i checked them out they really look like a new set.. could they just be no good??what could it be??

You should have a 1/8" play in your cable.. sounds too tight.
