Hey guys!
Let me give you exactly the details of what has happened thus far. I rode my bike home last week after I bought it from the PO. Excited the next day to show my family I tried to kick start it and dropped the bike on the clutch lever. The perch snapped and I had to get a new one. I bought a cheap one that was supposed to be for a dirtbike so I could ride while I wait for spare parts.
I reassembled the clutch lever and perch and it worked for a couple shifts then my bike got stuck in neutral and no matter how I adjusted the distance of the screw thing on the perch it wouldn't disengage anymore. Since it stopped working I returned that lever and got a mikexs clutch perch and lever, I have tried the full distance of the screw thing and it doesn't disengage the clutch at all. So I'm stuck in neutral.
I've read some of the other threads but I don't know where to start looking for problems, everything was working fine last week and now I can't figure it out.
Could I have messed up the tension or distance of the clutch cable? Could it be a simple thing as adjusting some stuff or do I have to look into messing around with the internals of the bike?
Thanks!
