when i accelerate in any gear,any rpm initially for 3/4 sec the rev shoots up and clutch gets engaged and after a couple of sec the rev drops ......then accelerates smoothly.This happens in every gear when i accelerate.what may be causing the clutch to engage.
and does anyone know the spec of front fork brace allen screws,noticed today 2 of the screws have come loose and fallen off,would this cause the bike to be dragged to one side(yesterday felt like had a flat tire but after few meters the bike became steady).

Before condemning the clutch make sure the cable is adjusted properly.

Good point.  Let me revise my statement

Have you changed the oil lately?   Did you switch to a synthetic or a different weight? 
On those days when life is a little too much and nothing seems to be going right, I pause for a moment to ponder the wise last words of my grandfather:  "I wonder where the mother bear is?"
