Screwed up my clutch adjustment
My clutch felt a little weird yesterday on my way home so today after work I did a clutch pack adjustment that I have done before. Now the clutch isn't moving. It almost seems like the clutch cable is broken. At first after the adjustment I was pulling the clutch lever and I could hear and feel a snapping behind the derby cover. Now the clutch isn't doing anything. I am sick about this cuz i had rides planned for saturday and sunday. This a 2011 Cross Bones with 2984 miles on it.

Not bad at all...The cover that the cable attaches to has a ramp that when you pull on the cable, the ramp 'tries' to climb up itself but instead pushes the rod out towards the left. That's how a clutch disengages,
If you pulled it during the adjustment though, it went too far and 'flipped.'
Loosen the cable adjusters, pull the cover, ( you'll have to loosen the exhaust,) and put the ramp lever back down to about 6:00 O'clock. (Stretch the cable taught down there, in other words.)
Re-assemble, ( make sure the 3 ***** stay in their groove in the ramp,) then re-adjust your clutch pack, and then your cable in that order.
And remember: Never pull on the clutch lever DURING adjustment!
