What have I done? - SV650.org

Hi ,I'm new to this forum so hello to everyone.
My problem is that I just changed the chain and sprockets on my 1999 curvy.
To get to the front sprocket I had to move the clutch actuator and now have no drive.
On the paddock stand all gears can be selected and there is drive but back on the floor there is very limited drive i.e about 1mph at 4,000 rpm. What have I broken???

You just need to adjust the clutch.

This thread tells you how.

The pictures are long gone but the same thread further along has a link to the workshop manual pictures to make sense of it all.

Thanks very much. I'll have a look now.

If the manual link doesn't work pm me your number and I'll WhatsApp a copy over.

The relevant bit from the manual.
Although (more experienced than me) advice is to back off 1/8 of a turn.
