Clutch will not disengage (stuck in gear)
Ok everybody, first time posting. I have researched this topic on this forum and many others and I'm still stumped. Here's the issue:
I am building a '03 CBR 600RR powered dune buggy. Everything is hooked up and ready to rumble. This is where the problem started. I went to use it for the first time, fired it up, pulled the clutch lever, put it in first and it lurched forward and stalled. This is when I found out that my clutch will not disengage. So far I've looked through the repair manual (which I have if anybody wants it e-mailed to them) and went through the troubleshooting process. What I have found so far is that all the clutch plates and friction discs are intact and within spec, they are arranged in the proper order, and the pressure plate springs are within spec and torque down to 9 ft-lbs (the correct amount). I've aligned the clutch lifter (the little arm that sticks out of the right side crankcase cover where you attach your clutch cable) and that is proper. When I look through the oil filler hole, it doesn't look like anything is moving in there when I pull the clutch lever. For ease of interpretation, I will only be working with the lifter lever on the crankcase to rule out stretched cable, wrong length cable, or broken cable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as it is currently raining here and I'm really trying to get out in the mud and use this beast.
