So it ended up being a busted clutch rod (17)…so i ordered a used one…
so when it a arrived I tried to pull the broken part of the push rod out that didn’t work… so I went to the other side pulled the clutch cover off, unbolted the clutch, set the bolts/springs aside. pulled the metal plate (7) held down by the bolts with the springs. then the little cover/bolt (12) thing that is the back part to the push rod (the one with the little O-ring) then stuck a magnet in there pulled out the ball bearing. Then pulled the rod out threw the back… slid the new rod in, rolled the ball back in and put the other side of the push rod/bolt thing back in then put the metal plate back over and torqued down the bolts with the springs… put cover back on… thought I was done…
put the new chain/sprockets on, put the chain cover back started bike and I can run it threw the gears with the clutch untouched and it wont move I can feel it engage the gear, neutral light go off???
like the im holding the clutch lever but im not???
