Here is the current situation that I left my bike in. Checked new clutch plates etc were In the right order. Followed the advice of pleiades and adjusted the release arm lever, at the same time changed the oil filter.

The adjustment of the Release Arm lever made the rear wheel turn A little bit faster which was reassuring. But alas after hours of tampering the sun going down I had to get out the forest very disappointingly. I could still stop the rear wheel with the slightest touch of my foot while it was revving high in first gear.
