Pulled the cover and no broken lip. I'm not sure what I'm looking for but nothing stands out as damaged. I also can't seem to get a hold of a manual. It is an 03
Thank you for posting that. I know the manual uses the term "lightly bottoms", but I've spent a lot of time where guys turned that screw well beyond that point and really bottomed it out resulting in a slipping clutch.
I've found it better to describe it as:
Unscrew till its floppy, then screw it in till you feel it hit something that causes tension.unscrew 1/4 turn from there and you're done.

idk what to tell you. maybe attempt to take a video. i assume you adjusted everything right and tried it again. are you familiar with motorcycles or is this your first one?
My first bike but no stranger to wrenching. I still have inspection cover off. I guess I'll get a video of it and see what you guys think
Would my primary being to tight have any effect on clutch movement?
have you tried to just kick it in, not hard enough to break the shifter or anything but its usually a quick movement. you arent trying to push it into gear slowly are you? pull the clutch in and kick it into gear. it will either stall or shift into first successfully.
so you havent put it back together and tried the adjustment inside the cover? adjust it based on the above directions and give it a tryI still have inspection cover off
Alright so clutch is fully operational. My problem was the part where the cable connects was pulled forward. I followed all your directions plus sliding that back as far as it would go. I took my first ride on the bike and I'm a little impressed. I was expecting a little worse performance as it sat for a year and a half. Thanks guys. And it seems the bike won't idle with kickstand extended. Is this normal with the blast ?
