Clutch?

[Guest]

Alright, so after I get the electrical sorted I take my 78' gs550 on a 1-2 hour ride and notice kind of a rattling/grinding noise when in gear and slowing down/braking.

Now when in gear and I pull in the clutch to push the bike when not running it feels like the the clutch is not fully engaging. I have noticed the clutch lever was feeling a little more difficult to compress when riding.

Is it possible its just my cable and not the clutch which needs to be replaced? Any way to know this without just buying a replacement cable?

Thanks again!

First, check that your clutch cable is adjusted properly per your owner's manual. I've you've "cafe'd" your bars lower than stock, you probably need a shorter cable.
