    Clutch won't release

    We scrambled to complete the GS1000 build last Friday and got to Barber for the races only to find that clutch would not release (and a couple other no-go issues). Lesson learned in not rushing to finish a race bike.

    The clutch feels like it's working, you can pull the handle to the bar and it feels normal. The cable is properly adjusted. But as soon as you put it in gear it stalls because the clutch is not releasing. The trans also shifts through all the gears when the engine is off and without using the clutch, so I don't think the problem is there.

    I obviously put something back together wrong when I rebuilt it. I've drained the oil and will tear into it tonight, but does anyone have any ideas of what to look for or test?

    Many thanks!
