hey guys. I need some help. I have a 1980 XS650 and I have been doing a lot of work on it over the winter. I replaced the clutch bearing, friction plates, clutch plates, clutch springs, and stews to the allen key type. basically the whole clutch set-up. When I was all done and slapped it back together, and set the clutch.
When the engine is off I can shift up and down the gears like butter. When the engine is on however, it clunks down to first gear and already wants to take off slowly. It won't shift to neutral or any other gear at this point. I turn it off again and it shift up and down with no problems.
I can't figure out why this is happening, and it is very frustrating.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions please let me know.
Thank you very much!
