Default Clutch Problem

I just replaced my clutch cable with a mangum chromite. Now when I put my bike in gear and release the clutch nothing happens. I have adjusted the clutch cable play etc. It's almost like the clutch has been engaged. I have pressure on the clutch lever as if it is working? I guess I will have to drain the Tans., remove the pipes again and start over. Does any one know what the problen could be?

When you replace the clutch cable, you need to do a complete clutch adjustment including removing the Derby Cover. Grab a service manual.

NO clutch adjustment needed, The problem was my error when putting the ball bearing back in to place. Problem solved.
