so this hasn't happened to me previously but the other day i removed the motor and trans from the bike to work on the bike and when i put it back in,started it up and went for a short test ride i found that the motor slow me down like it used to. when i let off the throttle the motor would break the bike until around 18-20mph then the clutch would disengage. Well no it dons't seem to brake at all,rather it seems to just keep coasting along.
also before if you tilted the bike on the kickstand so the back wheel was off the ground the motor wouldn't turn it. now you do that and the clutch is still engaged enough that with the wheel off the ground it will turn, i tried dropping the idle to see it that would work.but the clutch was still engaged when the motor stalled from idling so low.
i took the clutch off and don't see any apparent reason for it not disengaging, the shoes are a little worn down near the edges(been like that since first 100mi) but the rest of it is nearly smooth. the clutch bell has a groove worn in it from the shoes and as close as i can judge its about .0025" deep groove. Is that about normal for a clutch with only 680mi and a 200# rider?
I'm stumped as to what could have happened when i took it off the bike, cause i didn't do anything to the clutch or trans while off the bike and as i said it worked fine before.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
