put on new clutch cable and adjusted the clutch but wont work now

[MoMakkawi]

So i purchased a 78 gs 750.. yes i am a noobie. i go around doing some maintenance order to get it ride ready and clean the carbs ect. i get to changing the once frozen clutch cable with a new cable and now it takes some serious muscle to make the clutch work. I dont know what happened but the bike is pretty much unridable with the clutch as is and i have tried just about everything i could think about. i.e. re routing wire, tightening loosing cable, adjusting clutch screw.... any help would be appreciated. More over i just purchase new bars much lower profile similar to dirt bike bars and the clutch and throttle cable are to long any advice on what to do about that. i looked at motion pro but it seems very pricy to go that route.

If bike sat for a while waiting for you, it's might be best to inspect the clutch actuator stuff- it might be almost froze up too and need cleaning and lubing. Look at clutch diagram for your model and dive in!
