Clutch cable / sprocket cover install
Posted: Mon May 25, 2009 5:03 pm
OK guys. I did a search and didn't find anything like my problem. If I missed it I apologize.
I had the clutch cable and sprocket cover off the bike completely. When I put them back on I can't get my clutch to engage at all. I can put the bike in first (bike running) and let the clutch lever out all the way and I go no where. In any gear I can roll the bike back and forth like it's in neutral or the clutch is disengaged. Now with the cover off I can put the bike in gear and it won't roll, like the clutch is engaged. Like it should be.
So I know that it's the cover / cable that's causing my problem. Is there anything that I should know about putting them back on? I'm not seeing anything obvious and it worked before I took it off. Could it be the routing of the cable? If so pictures of proper routing would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.
