Had that problem after fitting the easy clutch lever-did what Cam posted, put a machine washer/shim in between the square bar & clutch basket thus improving release stroke.
Cannot select neutral with motor running – RGS

Did the same after fitting the extended easy clutch lever to increase release stroke. Anyone else have that problem?

Hello everyone, I hope all of you are well. It's been a long time, but I have finally gotten around to filing the burrs off my clutch hub and drum.
I want to replace the bearings in the drum. They look like they are in an open ended tube and should just push out. I didn't want to tackle the job without asking here first, for clarification, because I don't to fuck it up.
I've got one of those bottle jack presses. Thanks in advance for any helpful advice.

You can drive them out with a socket they is not much of an interference fit.
Little secret to reducing the rattle is the lateral position of those bearings, you need to have little to zero clearance between the bearings and the shims.
I would throw away the friction plates I have never had much success with aged plates.

Hi all, I have put the bike back together and gone for a ride (about 50km). All seems back to how it was, downshifting feels normal, and I found neutral while rolling to a stop, like before.
I can’t find neutral from a standstill, which is what it was like before, but before, I could start moving forward a little and snick it into neutral as it rolled. I can’t do this now, but I can live with this.
A big thank you to everyone. I really appreciate the help from you blokes on the forum. This forum, and the internet of things, has been a Godsend for helping to keep my bike on the road.
I now have another problem to look at, a plug keeps fouling on me, and the cylinder it is doing it on has oil leaking past the header gasket. I need to check it out a bit more, but I will probably start a new thread for this.
Thanks again for the help.
