Starting & clutch problems

[bah73]

Well, I messed this one up. I have a stock GS750T and recently put low profile handlbars on it. The problems is when I repositioned everything on the new bars, the clutch won't fully engage, and it won't start. The clutch engages about half-way and enough to allow the bike to turn over. The throttle is working fine, and so is the choke. All lights and electronics work fine, and the bike turns over fine, it just won't start.

Prior to making the modification, it ran like a dream (always, it noly has 9K miles). It has fresh gas, and the petcock is in the on position.

I know I will probably need a shorter clutch cable to solve my clutch problem, but I don't know why it won't start. Any suggestions?

Sounds as if the kill switch may be grounding. Even with the cable being too long it should still adjust the same as it did before.

I'm a donkey

I started it right up this morning. When I was remounting the throttle, I must have severely flooded it, that is all that was.

I still have the clutch problem. It pulls good, but will only partially engage. I even manually pulled the clutch on the engine, but when I engage it fully manually, it still only partially engages. What could cause this?

Fixed

I adjusted the cable and contection, and now it works fine. I guess it just needed some tinkering.

Took it for a morning ride and the new handlebars are nice.

It looks like your GS750T

My new handlebars make the bike look very similar to yours, only it still has the original red and black factory paint. Once I take some photos, I will post them.
