Message: [QUOTE="rmc_olderthandirt, post: 1331267, member: 68872"] This isn't making sense to me. If the clutch doesn't "engage" it would mean that it would be slipping, the engine reving up but you don't go anywhere. This would be the opposite of stalling. If you are not getting engagement until the lever is almost all the way released then the adjustment on the lever shouldn't be "all the way out", it needs to be in more. It is not unusual for a bike to be difficult to start when in gear with the clutch disengaged. It is common for the clutch to have significant "drag" to the extent that it requires a very strong kick to get the engine to start. If you try to get more clutch release by adjusting the clutch perch then you can create slipping problems and not make any improvement on the drag. Rod [/QUOTE]
