XT 600 E clutch won't disengage
Sorry to be asking for help yet again but I cannot figure out where I have gone wrong with the clutch reassembly on my 1997 XT. It freewheels fine in neutral but when in gear it does not disengage when I pull in the clutch. I've tightened the cable to the point where the clutch slips without me even touching the lever. When I pull it in at this point it makes no difference at all. So far I have:
- pulled off the crank case cover again to check I have put the clutch plates back in the right order
- double checked that the arrow on the pressure plate lines up with the marking on the clutch basket
- made sure the teeth on the clutch lever are engaged with the push rod
- run the bike for five minutes to warm and thin the oil
I've searched the forum for answers without success and have now run out of ideas. I'm sure it's some stupid oversight on my part but can't work out where. If anyone has any advice I would be very grateful.
