[QUOTE="HeyWaitUp, post: 170262, member: 1715"] So I got the new clutch retainer pieces I need today and was going to install them (hopefully properly this time!) this weekend. But I was thinking...would it hurt to shift the bike through the gears while I still have it pulled apart? Because if it shifts fine through the gears with the crankcase cover off (and without the clutch adjustment pieces coming into play) I would know right away if it's a bent shift rod or shift forks...right? Obviously I'm talking about shifting through the gears with the bike OFF...lol...but when off the throttle (or off completely) the auto clutch is disengaged right? So I should be able to just click through the gears...? Someone tell me if I'm an idiot or not please... ...an idiot pertaining to this particular issue I should say :facepalm: [/QUOTE]
