clutch not engaging?

[Guest]

i just changed the clutch springs and put on a new gasket, tightened it all up and now the clutch has no resistance? like i hook up the connection with the clutch cable and pull the clutch and its like im pulling with it disconnected? what did i screw up?

Did you make sure the spline shaft for the clutch actuator was turned into the clutch?

say again? is the spline shaft the shaft that connects to the clutch cover? what do you mean turned into?

Before you put the cable back on the actuator arm you have to turn it (clockwise, looking from above) until it doesn't turn anymore. I forget to do this pretty much every time.

ok well ive done that and like i put the geat shifter on the post coming out of the clutch cover and i can turn it and theres very little resistence and it will stick in the 3 O clock position or the 6 O clock position. weird..

If you didn't take anything else apart take off the clutch lever at the clutch and find the right spot on the shaft.

If we knew which model of bike, and year, it might help to understand what's going on.
