clutch not engaging and dragging !!

Hi

I've got my 750K started now and rode it yesterday !!  only thing that's a problem is the clutch no matter how I adjust the cable or plunger in the casing the clutch doesn't seem to disengage fully,all I seem to do when adjusting the cable etc is move the bite point , when you pull the clutch it feels ok but when you select 1st it clunks forwards and starts to move the bike,then of course changing up or down when riding gets tricky, and of course when you stop you cant get it back into neutral.
When I bought the bike from a A*se on ebay I stripped the clutch only to find it was missing (the plates basket and everything) I bought another on Ebay.

When I came to fit it I had to take out the black splined washer as it pushed the whole clutch assembly too close too the casing and the engine wouldn't turn over. Once the washer was removed it was fine and there was a clearance.
Is there a way the plates fit a direction of rotation etc as I cant remember looking for that do they have to sling oil off to work ?

I also remember that between the clutch plates where thin metal plates and one thinker metal plate all I did was put it where it was in the clutch when I got it in the box from the seller ,I couldn't find a picture of a clutch with this extra thick plate although without it Im sue the plates would be too slack in the cage.
should I try and slip the clutch when riding to free it up or has anyone any ideas


Thanks again  ;)

Amos  ;D

Thanks for the link the photo doesnt show the one think plate (metal) if you have one in bits photos would be great of it in the right order

Thanks Amos

The thick plate was a later modification, if i can find the bulletin about it i will scan it and put it up BUT having said that ALL the bulletins are on the US board somewhere

Hi
Been in the garage again this morning !!! stripped the clutch again and found that the clutch centre had been catching on the outer shaft centre. this is because I had to remove the splined washer to get the clutch to fit in the casing other wise the casing when tightened down pushes against the clutch centre body stopping the engine turning !!
Ive attempted to down load some photos hope they shed some light. if anyone has a clutch out of their SOHC 750 can you measure the clutch centre from top to end of splines (50mm on mine see photo) the boss at the end of the clutch centre (10mm on mine)

The whole problem seems to be the splined washer pushing the clutch assembly to far out but this washer has a job to do so has to be there ! I did buy the clutch off Ebay so cant be 100% sure its the correct one for my bike ? cant be right if its too big or is it ? with the washer in place the centre locking washer and nut doesn't tighten the shaft flush if you know what I mean (surprise about the same thickness as the splined washer)

 

would appreciate some advise

Thanks Amos
