In gear but won’t go anywhere!?

[ricky0115]

So I finally have my bike running again! Now it won’t go anywhere in any gear! I have a new cable so it’s not that but it does look like the carb is stopping it going all the way?

@ricky0115 strange what year?

[Calum]

Sorry but what?

It steps into gear, but the bike literally doesn't move?

The clutch isn't disengaging in that case.

You need to adjust the clutch actuation arm.

@Calum does that involve emptying my new gear oil and removing the cover?
Yes goes into gear moves ever so slightly but not much!

[declan]

@ricky0115 so the carb stops the arm from returning to the original position? That would cause the issue but no idea how the carb could be in the way

[ricky0115]

@declan confirmed carb is not in the way, actuator arm seats as it hits the carb

[Calum]

So the clutch actuator arm sits on a little holder that fixes perpendicular to the base of the cylinder, far far away from the carb.

Can you get a photo up.

If the clutch is fully disengaged, and there is no power to the wheel, then the clutch isn't being disengaged properly. Which means either adjusting the clutch perch, actuator or yes taking the clutch cover off and adjusting the clutch dowel.

my carb is very close to where the clutch cable hooks in, I do remember though when installing new clutch plates there was a wavy ring between the 1st friction plate and 2nd clutch plate, should I have removed this?

[Calum]

@ricky0115 Nah that looks good to me.

Yes, the clutch plates must go back in a specific order.

I describe the order in the kick start tutorial.

@calum god damn, can I reuse my oil? It’s brand new today. I will whip the casing off tomorrow and Reinstall to your guide. Cheers mate your a legend

[Calum]

@ricky0115 Yeah you can reuse the oil

[ricky0115]

@calum sorted it mate! The push rod was screwed in too far causing the plates to have play in them I unscrewed it and you could see the plates seating! Thanks again man appreciate your help, and everybody else’s!
