Welcome to the forums,

Sounds like the screw on the clutch pressure plate isn't adjusted right.

Default clutch cable

It was the adjustment screw. Guy I got bike from had put a washer on screw for some reason not sure why so would not adjust. Took the washer off after many hours of scratching muy head and it works great now.
