Title: Clutch Problem? Post by Ryan on 06/15/14 at 14:52:41 Ok so I swapped out my handlebar this weekend.  A relatively easy project with no major hiccups.   ;D  I go to start it up to make sure that everything is in working order and every time I go to shift into 1st, the engine would die.   :(  I fiddle with the clutch cable and it starts shifting into 1st without killing the engine.   ;D  I tighten up the set screw and put the sleeve back on and it starts to do the same thing again.   :( I thought that it might be the cut out switch in the clutch lever because it wouldn't start in gear with the kickstand up, but now I can't get it to shift into any gear.  Please help.

Won't go into any gear?... You've jiggled all the gears into perfect disalignment.. (that's not a real word?)... Just roll the bike forward or backward a little bit... Motorcycles aren't good at shifting when they aren't moving... not like a car... ;)...
