hello all and HELP!!!! i went to adjust the clutch and the cable housing came apart at the primary cover and started leaking so i went to the dealer for a new cable , they said i need to take the primary cover off to replace the cable , give me cable kit , gaskets , primary fluid . went home checked the manual for my 07 883L it wasnt too clear , diagrams show entire cover off , so i loosen cable remove lever side . move to primary drain fluid, take inspection cover off hex,nut trun screw till clutch release comes off. , then tried to remove primary cover . came undone and i had too force it off of the shifter shaft. (yes i removed shifter arm) kinda had to pry it off, was very clean in there everything looked fine , so i changed cable reassembled everything , ( now i realize i didnt need to take the entire primary cover off i coulda done it thru the inspection cover) adjusted things by the book , have done it several times before no problems , til NOW now my clutch is sticking . like its not realeasing all he way , bike pulls when i come too a stop and almost stall and im having trouble shifting gears , i readjusted clutch by the book , checked fluid 1 qt is fine checked primary chain its adjusted ok, , could i have bent the shifter shaft ? thats all i can think of ? i dont know what could have gone wrong? the only difficulty i had was getting the cover off the shifter shaft . but its not really safe to ride like this and/or ill burn up the clutch or destroy my gears , this is my only means of transportation so i need it running ASAP . thanks in advance ride safe everyone
