Hey guys, i just picked up an 89 ex500 a few weeks ago, i've only ridden it a few times around the neighborhood. The last ride i went on i was pulling into my road in second gear with the clutch pulled, as i was braking the bike stalled. Now i've noticed that when the bike is off, and i'm moving it in the garage, it'll be in gear, and when i pull the clutch in it still takes some effort to move the bike. It feels like the clutch is dragging a little bit. When the clutch lever is pulled in is the clutch supposed to be completely disengaged?

 

I would try to adjust the cluch cable it might be set wronge and try lubing the cable too. if that doesn't work i guess you might need a new cluch. hope everything works out for you .

 

yes when you pull in the lever the clutch should be completley disingaged, there should not be any drag. try adjusting and lube like blue beast said.

 

Thanks guys, i'll check it out tonight and let you know how it goes
