Clutch release problem

[stevie16v]

I definitely seen something on this before but can't find it now.
Long and short.
In neutral, clutch out theres a rattle (known fault) clutch in, its fine.
Kick it into first, Clutch out its pretty much fine, running a bit rough but thats because im working my way through sorting it. Clutch pulled in, the wheel still keeps spinning, not as in just a little bit, its as though theres still power going to it. Is this going to be the clutch release bearing? or something else
Its a 93 plate XJ 600 diversion s

Can you stop the wheel turning when the clutch is pulled in, use the rear brake NOT your hand or foot, if you can i wouldn't worry about it, there's not alot of movment between fully disengaged and fully engaged. and wet clutches can drag a bit especially when the oil is cold and thick.

the clutch rattle thread is diversionclub.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=techarticles&action=display&thread=3823 well thats the one i remeber reading ;D

Hi, have recently got myself a divvy 600 and was wondering about the rattle from the clutch seems like i came along at the right time, very useful information.

Thanks Simon.

The rear brake is a common problem on 600s, I've seen a couple where the caliper has seized or just no pads left in them ;D

I took it off to give it a clean up, One of the bleed nipples was corroded right through so it was no surprise when it sheered clean off. Couldnt be bothered drilling it out etc so ive picked up a thundercat one for a mere 20quid. Cant complain at that
