OR new clutch time with all those wheelies you've been doing!!

new sprocket and chain also...

I removed the sprocket drive cover that the clutch cable connects to so I could see if I could mount my speed sensor so it reads off the front sprocket, and while I was at it, I cleaned out the inside of that case because it was filled with gunk. when I put everything back together, thats when I had my clutch issue...
Im hoping I fixed it, Ill find out tomorrow.

I hope you do get it fixed.
Good luck, hopefully you don't need new friction plates, yet.

just in case, where do I get new clutch plates from??

The amount of free play on the lever is about 2-3mm. Get that set and if that does not work then you have to adjust the worm gear on the front sprocket cover. That should be adjusted by turning the screw in until it sets, then turning it out 1/4 turn.

ok, well, I made it to school with no issue.
I freaked this morning because my bike wouldnt do anything when I hit the start button, but then I realized that the bike was in first gear so it wouldnt start
all and all I did a good job adjusting it.
tonight im going to be adjusting my fuel mixture screws. so if anyone has any advise they can give me on that, it will be greatly appreciated.
I allready have most info thnks to reelrazor

I cleaned that out too when I installed my new chain and sprocket. Took like 4 cans of brake parts cleaner. It collects crap WAY too easily.

I pretty much spaked it in engine degreaser. then scrubbed it down in some water and blow dried it and installed.
Brake cleaner work well?
engine degreaser removes rust too.

Brake cleaner works wonders, just don't get it on your chain if you're planning on using that chain again. It'll get all of the lube out of the o-rings as well, leading to chain failure.

It only took me so many cans because the previous owner had never cleaned it out, and I had to spray it then (at times) carve the crap out with a putty knife.
