    Clutch not engaging? Trouble shifting while riding but not when off

    Good afternoon GS fans!

    I have a new issue today... Halfway to work the bike became hard to shift. I was able to make it safely to work, but I had to powershift for the last 2 miles or so. Things were running fine yesterday and for the first half of my ride this morning. I have not changed anything on the bike since I put on a new chain/sprocket set a couple months ago, and at that time I didn't do any clutch adjustment.

    It feels like the clutch isn't fully engaging, as when I come to a stop the bike tries to roll forward or dies. It's near impossible to get into neutral with the engine running. When moving and I pull the clutch lever the shifter is very difficult to move, as in I pretty much have to blip the throttle while kicking the shifter to change gears.

    When the bike is off it has no problem shifting between gears.

    Any insight would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Working...
