  • new to kats need some clutch help

    hi guys, i've searched and havent found anything that fits the problem im having. Just picked of a 05 kat 600 with 15k miles. chain and sprockets were pretty rough so i replaced them. now i dont have a clutch. bike was fine before. i followed the directions on the clutch adjustment procedure. any help is appreciated. and i did get the rod back in.

    there is a pivot in the front sprocket cover. may need adjusting. also make sure cover bolts are tight.

      cover bolts are tight. the pivot you are talking about is what the clutch cable hooks too? i adjusted that per the sticky and still nothing. i think my idea of "high resistance" could have been too high. Could i have been something from over tighting the clutch asjustment on the cover?

      if its in gear the clutch is engaged and the back wheel wont spin, but all the adjustment in the world wont get it operating again either. not new to bikes or turning wrenches

        Can you free turn the wheel? Someone else here had the same issue. Can't remember the results though. Is the clutch pin in place?

            How did you remove the front sprocket? Did you jamb the wheel with a bar or ? Or did you torque on the trans while in gear?

                i figured it out, it was still in gear, grooved the clutch basket, thanks for all the help. clutch issue resolved, awaiting pushrod seal and it will be time to ride!
