    1983 gs 650 gl pinion release has not resistance

    Hey Guys,
    Need some help! I was doing a quick lube up of my clutch cable, so I removed the lever off the pinion release and when I went to put everything back now there's no tension what's so ever on the clutch lever. I'm still able to roll the bike and go from 1st to 2nd and 3rd but trying the lever does nothing. Any ideas?

    You need to take all the slack out of the pinion before putting the lever back on.

    Note which way the lever pulls the pinion. Remove the lever, rotate the pinion in the direction the lever would pull it, put the lever back on. It might be a bit easier if you release some of the adjustment in the cable to make sure you can get to the right position on the pinion.
