Clutch Adjustment, hard to shift
Hi all,
Adjusted my clutch per the service manual. 2 problems.
1. Shifting is difficult, very hard to shift. When shifting from 1st to 2nd it pops into neutral a lot.
2. The clutch lever needs to be LOOSER in order to get the bike to shift. Seems opposite of what it is supposed to be.
Should I go back in and start from scratch? Also, I changed all the fluids but the problem is still there. Thanks for the help!

Did you adjust the clutch cable? You should be able to pull on the cable at the handlebar and have at last an 1/8 gap between the the clutch lever housing and the larger part of the ferrule on the cable. Hope this makes sense. If this is right and you were in the primary, you need to start over.
