Adjusting clutch after not shifting

[TheJ]

Hey guys, had my banshee get stuck in 2nd and 3rd gear, searched and found what I needed to do.

 

Long story short, I fixed the shifting, got it 90% together and found I had no clutch lever resistance. Searched, figured out my problem (that adjuster nut/assembly in the middle of the basket), I got that. But now it wont completely disengage the clutch. Neutral it starts. Soon as I go to first gear (with clutch lever in all the way to bars), stalls. 2nd gear I can get it to start but stalls pretty quick.

 

I thought I adjusted the clutch correctly but obviously not. This first time ever sticking my nose in something like this. Have worked on snowmobile motors enough times to be slightly handy with a wrench. But never pulled a clutched vehicle apart.

 

What I did is adjusted it so full squeeze of the clutch lever gave me about 1/8th gap between the pressure plate and clutch plate. This is what I thought was needed so got it back together. And as described above, it's too close?

 

I'm wondering if I can adjust it by other means. I already put this together for the 2nd and hoping I don't have to dump more oil and redo it. If I have to, then I have to, but I live at a rental and I'm working in the dirt/yard. No driveway.

 

Trying to start it in first with clutch in, the bike lurches forward a little bit. Again, I can get it in 2nd gear without bike barely loosing idle rpms. But first gear is dead stall clutch lever all the way in.

Nevermind! My gf felt bad and by time I got home she had it the clutch cover off and waiting for me to fix Got it working.
