Changed the bars today to a set of renthals, went to go for a test run but the bike wont move. :eek
I goes into gear no problem, but when i release the clutch lever nothing.
When on the centrestand in 1st gear it will move the wheel slowly.
The cable play at the lever is spot on as i adjusted it at the sprocket cover a few weeks back because there was no adjustment left at the lever from previous owner.
I did notice that when i put my finger on the clutch plates i can get a small bit of movement from them which didn't seem right, so i stripped the clutch.
There doesn't seem to be much material left on the friction plates but they aren't bald and the last time i was out on the bike it ran 100% with no clutch slip at all which is strange and it never has before, and the steel plates seem to be in good order?
I also noticed when i looked through the oil fill hole when the bike was in gear and running, that the hole clutch assembly would rotate as it should, but with a bit of back brake the center part would stop and the engine would comfortably still rotate the outer part.
So i assume its the clutch, any ideas and what parts should i get?
