KZ1000 P-19 clutch problems was created by OldHippie
Just got the bike running again... after missing a real simple problem with the plugs. My friend and I also installed a fresh clutch cable. Let the bike run for a few minutes to get warm, pulled in the clutch lever a put it in gear. The bike lurched a bit when I dropped it into gear. I released the clutch lever but the bike didn't move. Revving the rpms didn't do anything either. we're both stumped here. Any suggestions and/or ideas?

There is power in words...just don't put too many together.

Go through the clutch adjustment again. Make sure you are not over riding the ramps the clutch screw adjuster uses inside the cover. This happens a lot and sometimes the books don't tell it right. Might take some fiddling. (Don't call Charlie Daniels or Jean Luc Ponty) :pinch: :pinch: :whistle:

Write "Clutch adjustment" on "search forum" -box. Lots of topics there and a few regarding the infamous "3-balls-and-a-ramp" -assy thats in J-engines. It can be a bit tricky and it easily jamms clutch "open".
