Hey guys, so just recently started having some clutch problems, clutch was slipping out of gear, and it was struggling coming out of first.
So I went ahead and replaced the friction plates. The springs seems to be in good spec, compared them with new ones I bought, and sent back the new ones because the old ones seemed fine. I torqued down the screws to 7 foot pounds, saw this in a instructional video, adjusted the clutch as follows. ( all the way in on handle bar, tightened adjusted until touching the push rod, 1/4 back, (tried 1/8 back as well) tightened the nut, and done. )
But even after doing all the it is having a bigger problem... Everytime I shift into first she dies. it's like the clutch is not disengaging. if messed back and forth with the adjuster, and still no luck, every time it dies once I shift into first. I am stumped here and could really use some help. as to what I am supposed to do.
Might it be possible I tightened the retainer screws in too tight??
Thanks
