Clutch lever stuck after removing clutch

tony951 · Oct 23, 2015

Hi guys and gals,

I have a 05 FE550 and was doing the water pump seal when I managed to dislocate the kickstarter mechanism. Fixed that no problem by removing and re-installing the clutch, but now my clutch lever is pretty much stuck. I have a Rekluse Z-Start Pro btw, and pretty sure I reassembled everything correctly.

My guess is that the slave cylinder plunger or something is out of place or jammed. I haven't bled or touched the clutch hydraulic circuit yet.

Thoughts on how to attack this one?

Thanks!

sometimes the lever can come so far out that the pin is dislocated.

look up at the bars first?

My thought too. Sounds like something simple just became misaligned. Check the cable end inside the lever, the cable, the adjusters and work your way back to the slave cylinder. Make sure the lever sleeves (I'm sure there's a correct name for these things - dowel?) that allow you to tighten the screws holding the levers on your bike are in place too. I know it's silly, but check that you didn't over-tighten something. I generally loosing everything up a little bit to allow for alignment and adjustment all along the system.
