New to K bike ownership and have got a 1990 K75s.
When I got the bike the clutch was fine and very smooth the seller showed me documents showing it had been recently changed.
I went to set off the other morning and the clutch felt very stiff at the lever and when aI pulled on it the cable poped out at the lever.I thought that the side stand had.caught and this had caused the problem. I refitted the cable and the clutch worked fine still very smooth.
A day later i did a short trip in traffic and stopped for a couple of hours.I went to get back on the bike.made sure it was on the center stand and started it up.Pulled the clutch lever in and tue cable popped again.This happend every time i tried to fit the cable. The clutch arm felt stiff and almost too hard to be moved by a cable.I did free it off and adjusted the the bolt on the end of the arm but couldnt get the clutch to work the cable just kept coming out of the lever.
Am I missing something simple or is this a major job??
