Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

There should be a couple of locating pins in the cover, or they might be stuck to the engine case. They have to be lined up precisely. Another possibility is the clutch release mechanism is not quite in the right spot. It has been a while since I had the cover off my son's 650, so I don't remember what the trick was.

That could be it. Note that the shaft has a flat spot on it that has to align with the flat spot in the in the hole on the cover. If they dont line up just turn the shaft so they do.
Does the 650 have the helix action which pushes the rod similar to a 550? If so, it sounds like you have the helix indexed incorrectly. Remove it and try again.
EDIT: Disregard this comment - just figured out the 650 does not use the same clutch mechanism as the 550. Sorry about the false alarm.
