    Did you make sure the spline shaft for the clutch actuator was turned into the clutch?

        Before you put the cable back on the actuator arm you have to turn it (clockwise, looking from above) until it doesn't turn anymore. I forget to do this pretty much every time.

            If you didn't take anything else apart take off the clutch lever at the clutch and find the right spot on the shaft.

              If we knew which model of bike, and year, it might help to understand what's going on.
