JUST GOT MY PRETTY MUCH STOCK 79650SF BACK ON ROAD AFTER ABOUT 2 MONTHS of headaches it is new to me and have done almost everything myself and have read as much as possible on here. last night when riding back from the shop the clutch seems to making a (clanking) sort of noise and when i really hit it at around 50 mph it seems to not wanna grab right away and takes a bit to catch up. also occasionaly when down shifting it would feel like the shift lever was not working at all just loose and not shifting . any ideas guys?
 
On the slipping I might try readjusting the worm and cable. If that don't help then the next thing I might check, if you had the clutch apart is ti check to be sure it's together right. The hole in the pressure plate lined up with the dot on the hub. All the right washers in the right places.
