Guys i really need some help/advice on what to do with my clutch lever. every since i got my bike about 3 weeks ago the clutch lever was loose like its downward not upright like the brake lever. anyways like 2 days ago i guess that started having its effect when i go to start it up. i turn the ignition on, choke, engine on, and then when i press the clutch and electric start nothing at all.. im pretty sure it's because the clutch is loose. should i just tighten it up myself and see if that works out?

 

There should be 2 wires that go up to the clutch lever. They go to a switch,
to prevent the bike from starting in gear, with the clutch engaged.
If the lever is messed up it might not be pressing the switch.
Try starting the bike in neutral.

That said, I would get the lever repaired and/or adjusted to operate properly.
Replacement if too badly damaged. Otherwise you risk damaging the transmission,
from trying to shift without proper dis-engagement of the drive-train.

Good luck, Ern

 

Yea that second part you said makes sense about the dis-engagement and what not. thank you, i will try to fix it myself to tighten it up to see if that fixes the problem,

 

If you can't get it working right, post some photo's. Also, I'm not too far from you if you need a second set of eyes.

 

@idodirt i never saw your reply until now, where do you stay?? I'm in Miami, FL / Miami Lakes to be exact. i would be glad to have you check it out and see what's up with it. i talked to a mechanic but he just said i needed a new clutch cable, and on the weekend im going to post some photos
