Cluth

Went on first ride worked good now I shift into first and don't move what is going on shifts into neutral their is no loud clanking or anything please help

Check and make sure your sprocket nut didn't come off first,if that's intact try adjusting the clutch.

It didn't come lose checked it also moves the chain in neutral I go in to netural shift into first you here it shift into first let off the clutch and rev it it don't move it did yesterday threw all the gears I don't here no grinding or anything even when I shift into first can it be in first and let off the clutch nothin happens

Adjusted clutch few times so what else could make this possible

Not sure what bike you have , but on most 70's kz there are three clutch adjusters:

One underneath the inspection cover (2 x M6 bolts) this is the coarse adjuster

One cable adjuster

one fine adjuster on the clutch lever.


Do them from the coarse adjuster first, then cable adjuster finally the lever adjuster. Google kawasaki kz900 clutch adjustement as they have a ball and ramp actuator working a shaft that goes through one of the gear clusters.

It is difficult to explain but I'm sure it has been discussed here many a time before.

Just to make sure, it won't go in to second while you are riding it right? Because the won't go into anything but 1st and neutral without momentum.

Sorry was clutch was not engage in but after bout 35 min of turning the screw in and out I got it perfect must of had it way to tight what a relief was pulling strong first ride happy it's okay thanks

It helps to indicate the model, as there are two basic but opposite clutch adjustments, depending upon what bike it is.

Martin, I hope you have better luck that I did trying to get that info. When I suggested he add his bike's model and year to his signature line all I got back was a wise-crack (see link below). I don't understand his reluctance to make it easy for folks to help him. :S Ed
