Just completed a full engine rebuild of a 2002 KX100, replaced all the bearings, seals, re-bored cylinder etc. For some reason when the bike is shut off, if you put it in gear and grab the clutch the transmission remains engaged (when I try to move the rear tire drags as if I wasn't grabbing the clutch at all.) yet when I start the bike (I have to be in neutral to start it) the clutch acts as it should shifting into all gears perfectly and even into neutral just fine. I have adjusted the clutch cable and even when I grab the clutch lever with my hand and pull it all of the way it won't disengage when turned off.
So the question is, what did I miss? Did I over torque the clutch springs? Did I miss a washer? I was pretty careful through the process but apparently I must have missed something. It doesn't seem like a problem when running and it really doesn't seem like it just needs to be broken in to me. I did use torque wrenches and followed the specs but maybe I miss read something.
As a side note: the engine was completely in pieces when I got it, previous owner had abused and not maintained the bike at all and blew the engine and had it torn apart. I used the online microfiche and a clymer manual to reassemble. Only OEM parts where used in rebuild.
