    What Did I Do?

    80 XS. I was trying to do a main clutch adjustment. I tried to loosen the lock nut at the left side cover. I could feel it was trying to disengage the clutch but nut would not loosen. The clutch is now disengaged all the time and the kick start is not engaged. What did I break?
