disconnect the clutch cable from the perch + motor and make sure it slides smoothly in the housing...

make sure it didn't get a litttle to close to that headpipe :D

Hydraulic clutches are sweet and definately worth the money. Get the billetanium if you can afford it the components are much nicer and the hoses are braided stainless. The hose on the Magura has a tendency to burn up because it passes through the head pipe.

You mentioned it's lubed good did you use a cable luber or just spray lube down the cable....I know the 12 buck cable luber I bought was well worth the money,,james lucky has them,,makes all the difference in the world..sounds like it's just a dirty cable..
