1 Clutch lever feels loose; gears won't engage. Mon Oct 04, 2010 5:50 pm

I think I've got big problems here. I have a 1990 K100RS. It's been running great and I just finished a long trip. Last week I was driving and all was well, then I stopped, let my passenger off and when I let the clutch out to engage 1st gear the lever went all loose and it just revved like it was in neutral. I'm in Tennessee now, but in July in New York I had the spline lube done (supposedly). I just got off the phone with Crow at Red Barn Beemers (if anyone here is from around the Knoxville area) and he told me to sell it because it will be too costly to fix. I apologize for not remembering exactly what the diagnosis was but he said it should have come up during the spline lube.
Does anyone here have a second opinion perhaps? Anything I might be able to try? I was hoping to learn as I went but I think I've gotten in over my head with this machine. Now I'm stuck.
If not, does anyone have a suggestions on where to figure out what I might be able to get for the bike? At some point in the future I'll probably kick myself, but I just don't have the time or resources to really put into the bike right now.
Thanks so much!
