If you need to fine tune the thickness then you can get flat 1.5mm plates (rather than 2mm) but if it's just a tad thick it will get better with wear.
The trick I use is that, with engine off and clutch pulled fully in, the clutch should 'freewheel' a little after you spin it with your hand - if not and it stops dead then it is dragging and neutral will be a bitch to select.

Thanks for that. I spotted one of your older posts last night where you imparted a lot of clutch based wisdom. I may try taking out one of the first two steel plates to reduce the stack height and keep all the friction plates in there. Neutral is non existent at a stand still with the engine running. It selected it easy from first when I tried it just on the paddock stand and the rear wheel was spinning slightly.
