HELP with clutch was created by exc3456
I have a 77 kz650. When I have it on center stand with the rear wheel off the ground, I pull the clutch in and put it in firt gear, the rear wheel spins with the clutch still pull all the way in. Is that normal, or there's something wrong with the clutch? Do I need adjustment?

I recommend using the rear brake as opposed to trying to grab the wheel with your hand....:laugh:

NAH! Grab it! ... Post pics :silly:

Even with the clutch pulled, there is still liquid friction (oil) between the clutch plates that transfers energy out to the rear. Totally normal, and in fact should be happening.
