Quick rundown:
Installed everything 100% correct to manual.
When the clutch cable is installed, adjusted, and locked in... I can pull the cover off the clutch adjuster bolt (the aluminum screw cap) and see the clutch moving when I pull the lever.
That being said, the clutch does NOT disengage. I can put it in first gear, and push forward and the engine turns over whether I pull the clutch in or not.
If I start the bike... pull the clutch... and drop it into first... the bike jerks slightly and then the clutch slips.
If the rear wheel is off the ground... the rear tire will spin when put in 1st no problem.
With the wheel on the ground, I can sit on the bike running... pop it into first, and rev the motor up to about 1/2 throttle, shift into second, rev up, shift into third... as if it's driving... but it's just sitting there... making noise and not moving.
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO NOISE out of the transmission... No grinding, no whizzing, no hum... nothing sounds out of the ordinary.
It's almost as if both the clutch springs are too weak, and the clutch plates are stuck together.
I've tried removing the clutch cable completely and I get the same result... the clutch slips as soon as you pop it into first.
...
I've never dealt with a clutch this bad... so I don't know if it's 100% clutch or not. But there is definitely a disconnection between the clutch and the final drive shaft.... everything else in the transmission/engine is engaged as normal.
Any ideas?
