What makes no sense to me is that even with the original lever, I still can’t get the clutch to disengage. I KNOW I’m putting in the push rod correctly into the brass bushing, because I can see it rotating when I squeeze the lever, so it has to be in the bushing slot.
Moreover, even when I take the lever off and use my finger to push the push rod, I still can’t disengage the clutch. Very odd. This is all up on the center stand.
Maybe having it up on the center stand wasn’t the best way to test it. I put the original lever back on, kicked the bike into gear and rode around, squeezed the lever while it was still in first gear and brought it to a stop. And the engine didn’t die. Maybe the clutch is partially engaged all of the time?
