    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...

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.

Mystery clutch problem, need detectives

I just recently finished my 550 to 650 conversion. After the initial start, I pulled in the clutch and put her into first but she leaped forward then died. So, the clutch was not working even though I have good resistance at the lever. So, I pulled the clutch adjustment cover off and followed the procedure to adjust the clutch. All looks good. I can see the plates moving back and forth now with the clutch cover removed. However, if I put the bike in gear and try and roll the bike forward or backward, the clutch refuses to disengage the transmission.

So, I pulled the pressure plate and springs as well as all the plates. The inner hub will not turn alone. Both the basket and the hub will only turn together. Is that correct? I can't figure out what I did wrong. This is a new clutch and cable. I need ideas on how to figure out what's wrong. I'm stumped...

Here's the basket.

The basket should turn separately from the hub. I dont have any answers to what the problem could be.

Have to wait for some one with more knowledge.
 
That's what I thought. I'm pulling it apart and make sure I put it all together properly.
 
Did you forget those flat needle bearings betwen the two? The hub nut would be just smashing the two together if you did.
 
there should be a flat washer that fits between the basket and the hub (not a flat needle bearing). there is another washer that fits over the shaft as well, it goes on first before you fit the oil pump drive gear and clutch basket
 
as mentioned if the inner hub will not turn by hand(spin) with all the plates removed you will have direct drive once assembled.
if this is the case find out where or what you have in the wrong place or maybe left out.
 
I took it all apart and put it back together and its fine now. I think I may have over tourqued the clutch hub nut.
