Help! Clutch cable adjustment or something bigger......

[jazzgrrl]

Hi there, just purchased a 1999 GZ250 and am a newbie. Love this site....maybe someone can give me some advice?



Bike will not start. Turns over but won't catch. Started at the PO's place the night I bought it, and only a few times since. Clutch lever is very stiff, I wonder if when it was tied down at that point in the truck it became misaligned?....also, when trying to start in gear, bike tries to lunge even when clutch is fully disengaged.

Clutch cable adjustment?.... or is it bigger than that - as in a internal clutch problem?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated - I've had her a week and have yet to ride her!!!!
