Clutch has started to slip at full boost on my classic but the bite point is still halfway down the peddle travel. The peddle does feel sluggish. Normally I would have expected the bite to be near the top of the peddle if plate has gone. Is this normal on as only had a clutch break before in 270k of happy ru motoring. Can you tell a ru clutch s worn by bite point position.

Get in 3rd/4th gear at a low speed and put your foot down, You`ll soon know if it is slipping as you wont gain speed and the revs will rise

I know it is slipping but come on really sudden. What I want to know is should the bite point change on a scoob as the clutch plate wears. I am assuming it is down to the rivets but all non scoobs that I have driven have shown a high bite point or non existant bite point when clutch plate has worn. How do you tell if a clutch is wearing apart from when it starts to slip?
Booked into clinic so will get it sorted just interested for future.

The bit point won't change if its a hydraulic clutch when it wears unlike a cable operated clutch.

They are hydraulic but for every hydraulic clutch I have had in the past the bite point moved as the clutch wore.
