    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I just replaced the clutch spring. I put it back together now when I operate the clutch the clutch handle does not return to the normal not engaged position.

Now I do Have not started the bike because I am waiting on piston rings to come in the mail.

I also have not put oil back into the bike because it did not return and I do not want to drain it to open it again if I have to.

Thanks Again
 
You can take the clutch cover off with the side stand down and oil at full. When you put the clutch cover back on did you make sure the shaft gears lined up with the clutch actuator gears and the clutch lever on the cover was in the same spot?

Did you turn the actuator shaft CCW before installing the arm?

Take all the slack out of your cable up by the handlebar, take off arm on clutch cover, turn CCW and install arm. Use cable adj on handle bar to gain your 1/8" travel.
 
I did not know you can remove the side cover with out oil spill on the side stand. Is that Part of the problem no Oil?

I will double check to see if I moved it fully CCW then put the clutch cable back on.

Thanks again
