I recently just cleaned it all out and replaced the fluid and it worked completely fine before I took it apart. I hate to say it but something I did caused this problem but I can't figure out what I did to make it do this. I have no clue what to do now
-
Alright so after opening the bleeding valve and releasing the pressure I could then move the pin in and out so I put it back together and bled the clutch but afterwards it did the same thing. The clutch still acts like a front breake again except after letting it sit for a while I can squeeze the clutch in all the way but it just builds pressure again just like a break. I'm so confused
-
Ok so the ball is still in there after whacking at it for a while it hasn't moved at all. Now I'm not sure what to try now.
-
I did accidently pull the clutch in out of habit when it was all apart. That sounds like that has to be my problem. I'll try that tonight
-
When I was taking it apart I pulled the first push rod out but a ball never came out. I thought that part was strange cause I was reading the service manual as I was taking it out and it said to remove the ball and other push rod but I could only get one push rod out. Apparently my mechanical skills are pretty sad. I've been struggling with this project since day one.
-
Yeah I'm sure I put the push rod back in the right way and I want to say I put the nut back in the right place. The clutch was stiff like the hand break before I put it all back together. Would I just need to bleed it to relieve some pressure? Honestly I really have no idea how the clutch even works so I'm pretty lost when it comes to all of this
-
now I know I am going to sound like the dumbest person in the world. After putting it all back together the clutch doesn't work now. When I pull in the clutch it feels exactly like what the hand break feels like. when it's started and I put it in gear it doesn't do anything. With out the clutch pulled in at all the tire still doesn't spin. It's like the clutch is always engaged. I was pretty careful on making sure I put it all back together the exact same way I took it apart. The only thing I can think of was when everything was taken out I pulled in the clutch and i think I remember it getting stiff when I did that
-
I'm starting to think that is the only thing it could be. I'll have to get someone to help me. I just want to make sure it works before I put it all back together. I've got a ride planned for the end of the month. I really hope I can get all of this sorted in time
-
I tried spinning the wheel that is actually when it got worse. It's pretty strange
-
It looks good and normal and when looking at the star washer when trying to shift i can't see it getting caught on anything. I'm really at a loss hear. It shifted completely fine up until the missing pin but now it doesn't and all i did was put in the missing pin.
-
So I'm in the middle of this repair and after opening it up and getting it all exposed sure enough one of the pins was missing. After putting in the new parts I tried to see if it could now shift in 4th gear with no problem but It still wouldn't shift all the way in. It almost got all the way in though. It also wouldn't down shift all the way to 1st. after a little messing around with it and trying to get it to shift. It got to the point where it would only shift fully into 3rd is this normal when it's all apart or is something seriously wrong? I'm getting pretty nervous that I was completely screwed on buying this bike. I'm not sure if I just need to put it back together for it to start working again. Or did I do something to somehow ruin it even more?

So I'm in the middle of this pin repair thing. I was completely missing 4th and 5th gear after opening it up and getting it all exposed sure enough one of the pins was missing. After putting in the new parts I tried to see if it could now shift in 4th gear with no problem but It still wouldn't shift all the way in. It almost got all the way in though.

Hey thank you everyone! You guys have been amazingly helpful. I'm going to start work on it tomorrow. It's 42000 miles on it and the second gear seems pretty strong! Hopefully it stays that way. I just picked up my caliper rebuild kit today so I'm going to put that all together tomorrow as well. After all that it should be ready for a good ride! Thanks again I am very very thankful
-
Yeah when I go to shift into 4th nothing happens it just stays in 3rd gear. I've been trying to find similar posts but have been trouble finding a good description of how to fix it. Could you point me in the right direction on a good descriptive post? I might just be searching wrong but I haven't had any luck. Thanks again for your help

The linkage looks good. I read somewhere about a star washer but it was pretty vague. I'm not really sure what that is.
