[QUOTE="jbird710, post: 230274, member: 132"] You may have said that you tried this, but I'm not sure - If you have all of the clutch plates out, pressure plate and springs out, and the bike is in neutral, can you spin the inner and outer clutch baskets independently? #5 and #1 will spin separately - you can spin one, one way, and spin the other the opposite direction without them both spinning together? Just trying to see if the inner and outer baskets are somehow stuck together. Kinda running out of ideas here and without seeing it, not sure where to go. If that works, you could slowly build from there to see where the problem is. Try putting the plates in and the pressure plate on, leaving the springs off, and see if you can rotate the outer clutch basket with the kickstarter with the bike in gear and the back wheel on the ground or immobilized. If that works, then it's got to be something in the pressure plate/springs/those pieces we've looked at to disengage the pressure plate. One other thing I thought of looking at that picture; the pressure plate isn't hitting against anything, blocking it from coming out when the side cover is installed with everything in place; is it?
