    clutch problems

    so heres the deal...i have a 80 gs 750 L and the original engine "died" to say the least...so I have a parts bike that I swapped a motor from...the guy I bought it from said it needed a new clutch...so I took it apart and replaced it with new plates and springs...

    Heres the catch....there isn't any....the clutch won't engage at all!!! As far as I can tell I put it in correctly and I have a shop manual and torqued everything to specs...still nothing...someone told me I might of lost the little "ball" on the end of the rod that comes out the the clutch basket...but I took the other engine cover off to see if there was one there and there isn't?

    So, I am completely lost and have no idea what is wrong????

    any help would be very much appreciated!

    You don't have the ball so don't worry about that.

      More than likely the release pinion or arm is not in the correct position. Could also be the cable is not adjusted properly. Compare the way you installed it to a parts diagram to verify if it assembled correctly.

          I just had this same problem. Replaced everything and very loose clutch cable. Ended up spending the 15.00 for a cable and that did the trick.
