Default Im Convinced....

The bike hates me. I finally got the bike started but ran into a few problems. After trying to adjust the new clutch cable I notice that the rear wheel never fully moves freely when the clutch handle is fully depressed and in neutral its harder than hell to push. It takes two people to push it its so hard. I havent done anything to the trans, only thing changed around the trans is a new clutch cable and new bendix gear. THe only thing I can think of is that the bendix gear is not fully dissengaging and cauing it to be too hard to move.
Any ideas? Im really stumped. And really tired of problems. All I have wanted to do the past 4 weeks is ride the damn bike and its really starting to **** me off.
