clutch not disengaging
Hello, I'm new to this site, though have referred to it from time. I have a 78 GS550 that I've been working on for some time now. After dealing with a new wiring harness, ignition, coils, oil filter, oil, plugs, control switches etc, I finally got her running, though not well. I'm planning on rebuilding the carbs and installing larger jets as I have individual air filters on, but my immediate problem is the clutch won't disengage, no matter how I adjust the cable. The bike did sit for 2 years so I thought that maybe the clutch plates are just gummed up and need to be removed and cleaned. I was curious if anyone else has had this problem. Thank youTags: None

Lots of people. You're probably right. Every thing is stuck together. Sounds like you've turned a wrench or two so pulling the clutch pak should be pretty easy. Might consider some new cover screws and a gasket. You can pull the cover on the side stand without losing any oil but you might want to change it anyway.Originally posted by rwsousa128 View PostI was curious if anyone else has had this problem.
