If you pull the clutch lever,or what`s left of it:lol:...does it work normally?????????

Did you get the lifter cup at the end of the rod on the actuator side in propoerly with the cup part facing in towards the engine??

If you pull the right cover and actuate the clutch lever do the clutch fibers and steel spread apart..?????

Need to know this before suggesting anything...is the clutch just dragging a little or can you not even get into first from neutral without stalling????????

Worked fine before? If so I'd suspect you put something together wrong.

Another thing that happens is the clutch basket can get grooves in it preventing the plates from sliding freely.

Plates arnt spreading, dosent seam like its pushing the rod far enuf .the clutch cable all works it push's the rod.The piece with the dimple is faceing the rite way Hmm when i pull the clitch wile the right plate is off the rod only moves like 1/4 of a inch..when all together when i pull the clutch nothen happens what so ever.and same when i took right plate off..couldnt see anything happen when pulling the clutch Hmm just dosent make sense why its not working---allmost seams like the rods to short...but it was working good before

akarob's after takeing a close look at the basket I do see some dissent size grooves on the side of the basket.. As a temporary fix you think it would work to take some 600 grit to it?

I havn't opened a XR650L clutch, but have done others. There should be a small ball bearing that goes in the shaft hole before the rod. Makes a big difference if that silly little thing isn't in there.

Did you replace any parts in the clutch? New/different housing/basket? Different pressure plate?

What about the plates? If you don't have the correct number of plates in the basket, or if you don't have them in the correct order of fiber plates to metal plates, it won't disengage. Check, and double check your plate order, and if you have the correct number of plates, and check against the manual, or the online fiche.
