Hey guys new to this thread. Just bought a 75 xs650 not running so I have been fixing things here and there but I came across a problem that I'm not used to lmao. I cannot get it to go into 1st, 4th and 5th gear. I've adjusted the clutch cable, the adjusting nut, I replaced the clutch plates and springs and I hoped that would solve it. Its still having trouble shifting though. Then with the kick start it lurches forward when in gears and kicks over in neutral (good good) but only with the clutch engaged. Lamens terms if I don't hold in the clutch lever the engine kicks over if I pull the clutch lever the kick lever moves freely. It has the tcbros pma system in it and i added the battery eliminating capacitor but I bought a battery to try the starter to see if it would run that way. Anyways long story short trouble shifting and the kick start moves freely when I hold the clutch lever in. I'm mechanically inclined but I'm no pro hopefully you guys have some insight. Thanks.
