Can't tell what doesn't seem right. Checked everything at least twice. Worm, ball bearings, correct adj. at nut w/ screw, washers and their alignment before replacing large nut. I noticed there was a 1/2" of play in cable before I made any adjust. Well I did something I haven't heard of or read about. At the end of cable where it sits in clevis at end of worm, I cut a nut on 1 side, opened it up enough to slip it over the cable end, crimped the nut closed and replaced cable in clevis. After adjusting I pulled lever in all the way and the clutch only moves on one edge maybe an 1/8th" at 3 o'clock. I had already done evrything w/out adding that nut to pick up that slack and it moved an 1/8th" evenly. I haven't started the bike to really test it. Used Ferodo disc, 650central best cable and 14% stronger springs. Can I cry now? One thing I forgot to mention. The plastic piece in worm was broken in 3 pieces. Could it be splaying out enough to cause this. I turned engine over 180 degrees and has same issue where only one side moved.
