clutch adjustment.......

i am having problems w/ my clutch. it seems like the clutch is slipping in first and second gear at full throttle then when i hit third it wants to grab and go. basically when i shift from 1st to 2nd it seems like the engine is revving but i'm not accelerating fast. almost like i didn't hit the gear correctly. so i adjusted the clutch to where i had just a hair free play in the end of the lever and now it wants to drag when i have the lever pulled all the way in. i run mtl 80 wt. oil, about 1.8 quarts and i have a brand new f.a.s.t. clutch w/ a brand new billet basket and also a new pressure plate and hub. i also bought the pancake bearing set up. one thing that always bothered me is that the release lever on top of the case is about a centimeter to the stator side of the pointer. when supposedly it needs to be at the pointer when engaged. when i have the clutch pulled all the way in at a stop and rev the engine it seems like it wants to grab a little, the bike goes foward a foot or so. the cable on this thing is new also. i have replaced everything and it is driving me nuts. i also purchased a modified shift shaft from fast and i adjusted the shift shaft while in frist gear. everything looked perfect. since the clutch is not fully disengaging it is making shifting more difficult. but at the same time it seems like it is slipping. wtf is goin on. when the bike is off and ice cold i can pull the clutch all the way in and put it in 1st gear and it doesn't want to free roll. the bike feels like i have the clutch totally out, the wheels lock up when i try to roll it. it this normal. also if the bike is hot and i try to start it in gear w/ the clutch pulled in, it wants to take of like it is dragging real bad. please help w/ anything. this is as much as i can tell you unless you have a ?. thanks to all.

from that post do what i suggested.

 

remove teh cable off the arm by the cases, with teh clutch cover off and what not, have someone or yourself push the arm to wear the arrows line up on the case and the arm. then tighten the tension screw up till its tight with the arrows lined up. then lock the nut tight against the screw. then put the cable back on and adjust free play.
