Hello all,

I have a 78 xs 650 that has a bit of a clutch problem. recently changed out the clutch cable for the proper one and am now able to find neutral!
However another problem has come up. The outer pressure plate come into contact with th outer engine case when i pull in the clutch. Measure the springs and they are with spec basket looks good, although there is some play horizontally in the assembelly. Bad bearing? Could this be the cause of my problem. To remedy the problem I have adjusted the cable to a 1/4 inch at the lever, and merely don't pull the lever all the way in when changing gears, but this is a pain. Any idea?

Thanks

This sometimes happens when the bike's been dropped on the right side and the clutch cover has been dinged in. If that's the case, the cure is replacement.
