Clutch
I replaced the clutch in my 03 600rr. When I first got it together it was still slipping. I took it apart and put it back together it worked fine. Clutch engaged nicely and was working fine. Rode a few miles realized my case was leaking quite a bit actually. I oil light didn't come on or anything. So I stopped riding and took it apart and resealed it. I didn't touch the clutch at all. Just the bolts in the case. When I put the case back on. The rod would engage the the clutch pin but it seemed as though the pin wouldnt move and the lever that the cable attached to would move to engage but then would stop and not move the clutch at all. Any idea what I did wrong?

Lifter?
what do you mean by lifter? If you mean the lever on the outside of the case I rotated it into place until it engaged the rod. The case will not go on until it is in the right position. If you are talking about the last fiber clutch disc then yes. The clutch worked fine until I took the case off again. Then all of the sudden it was solid.

After rebuilding the clutch at least 100 times, the problem is resolved. I hit up a couple FB groups. They told me not to worry about it and just throw the cable on it. I was worried it would stretch or break the cable. But I listened. Put it all together and voila. WORKS. The cable and the lever provides way more torque than I could get on it with my fingers. Turns out the new clutch springs and the new return spring made it pretty stiff. However the cable and lever was enough to handle it.
