non gs problem 1977 KZ 650 b

[odl777]

I have recently come across a kz 650, Well i took aprat the sprocket cover to take off the chain to oil it good. I went to put the cover back on and no go it would not engage the clutch. I adjusted the cable and the lever and they work fine, I think it has something to do with the push rod for the clutch, I took it out to try fixxing it an dthat did nothing. ANy suggestions am i going to have to take aprat my clutch since i took out the push rod? ALso t worked fine before the take a part. Thanks

I would say, if it was working properly before you took the cover off, you haven't got it back together right. Probably something not right in the mechinism that pushes on the clutch pushrod.

Well it seems like it is trying to push the rod in but the rod doesnt wan tto go in. I think the rod fell off tracjk or something, maybe a bearing fell when i took it out?

I have a '79 and I pulled the same cover not long ago but I can't remember specifics about it.
I think you may be putting it together wrong.

I am almost positive i put it back to gether right because i dont see any wrong way of doing it, THe cable is in the rite place and is adjusted. Does anyone know if it matters that i pulled that rodd out. I really think that is the problem. THanks
