When set up correctly the release arm should physically come to a halt at the point where the two punch marks align (all the slack has been taken up) when you push it forward (toward the front of the bike) with your finger. Note: No excessive force is required - you are not disengaging the clutch at this point.

The two punch marks should be aligned (after the cable is fitted) when the clutch is engaged, in other words not squeezing the handlebar lever.

Sounds like you might have the release arm set so the clutch is nearly completely disengaged all the time??


Hell - it's hard to explain this without using your hands and a blackboard!
