Hey all,
Just got a '72 XS2 on the road. Before riding it, I had to do some work, including replacing the clutch pushrod seal. I noticed that the cable adjustment was way out. Replaced the seal and fitted a new cable. With the cable adjustment at the handlebar all the way out and the clutch rod properly adjusted, I cannot fully disengage the clutch. I adjusted the rod with no slack - that is it is fully seated and not backed off a quarter, and the clutch now works. What is going on? BTW, this model has a single rod with one ball on the clutch side. What do you think?
