Default cbr f2 clutch problems

ok here is the deal just had a clutch put in. drove it about a mile cause it was 20 outside well today its about 35 so i was going to take it for a spin but when i pull the clutch nothing happens. i can turn the adjuster on the side of the motor where the cable hooks up that should be tight to turn by hand right.

Didn't quite understand the question, but heres what should happen. With the barrel adjuster on the clutch lever almost all the way in, adjust the cable on the motor side so there isn't excess slack, then snug it down with a wrench. This probably isn't something you want coming off. Fine tune the slack with the barrel adjuster. You don't want it slipping, so if the cable is too taut, then dial the adjuster in. If the lever flops around, dial it out some. If you run out of adjustment on either end, redo the motor end of the cable. Not too complicated really.

The adjustment was fine. the shifter rod on the clutch cover that can b turned by hand very easy. Could that mean that rod has broke. also the bike was trying to roll on its own even with the lever pushed in. really i have no clues whats going on just put over a grand in this thing lat week.

If whoever you paid a grand to worked on the clutch, and you don't know what's going on inside that clutch cover - then take it back to them before tinkering with it. Get them to make it right.

If someone else did work on your clutch it shouldn't break after a mile. Am I right that you rode the bike for a little before the clutch broke? Or eas it broken when you got it and tried to run the first time? The guy who worked on it should make it right, its not your fault and the problem is clearly under a case cover.
