2006 1200C Changed clutch cable. When pull lever can see ramp move and feels like clutch is working but if put in gear with clutch lever pulled bike will not move. Any help appreciated.

 

It wont move or is it hard to move?
Does the bike move when when it's in gear with the motor is running and the clutch is pulled in?

 

hard to roll fired up rolls easier running took around the block seemed ok same old gear clunck do ya think any adjusts or checks needed
thanks

 

Did you mess with the actual clutch adjustment or just replace the cable? If the latter, have you properly adjusted the cable for the required slack?

If I understand you, with the engine off and the tranny in gear, pulling on the clutch does not allow you to roll the bike easily, correct? If so, you're not fully disengaging, which is the source of your clunk.

I'd start with cable adjustment but my hunch is your clutch needs adjusting as well. How many miles? 6 year old bike may need a new clutch.

 

8K on bike disconnected clutch adjuster to move ramp to disconnect cable and readjusted it per book may have cable a little snug will more slack in cable help

 

The bike has a wet clutch, it's designed to work when the motor is running. It's NORMAL for it to be hard to push is the motor is not running.

 

that's what I was hoping my first post thanks for the help any other info appreciated

 

Here is an almost fool proof method for clutch adjustment. It takes the guesswork out of the "feel" for the adjuster.
Once you have opened up the derby cover and are ready to proceed. ALWAYS adjust the clutch on a COLD motor otherwise you could have shifting problems as the motor warms up.

1)Collapse the adjuster on the cable sleeve all the way.

2)Pull the lever against the bar and hold it there with light force.

3) After breaking the clutch lock nut loose,turn the pushrod adjuster bolt in with the allen wrench while holding the lever against the bar lightly until it starts to force the lever away for some distance. (Do this more than once to get the feel). While keeping light pressure on the lever back the adjuster bolt out just until the lever touches the bar again and then another little bit, about 1/2 turn , then tighten the lock nut in this position while holding the adjuster in place so it doesn't move. Easiest done with a "T" handle allen wrench.

4)Adjust the cable free play at the lever for 1/16"-1/8" free play and lock the lock nut on the adjuster. Slide the protective cover back over the adjuster.

You should be good to go .

Always adjust the clutch on a cold bike for best results.
