Clutch chatter and condensation
 
The last week it's been really humid and cool here, and there's been a lot of condensation. I'm guessing is why the clutches in both my rides have been really grabby when cold? It goes away once everything heats up.

Any way to prevent this, besides moving to Phoenix?

Drag clutch it'll heat up very fast.

I suppose if it's cold enough to condense on the cold friction plates, you have to get them over the dew point.

Depending how annoying half an hour with a baseboard space heater under the clutch would do the job.
