Question clutch problem.

i had my bike on a paddock stand today doin bits n bobs and found when i started it in gear the clutch didnt stop the back wheel turning and cant be stopped with my boot either. I played around with all the adjusters and now is a bugger to find neutral and clunks goin into first or second from neutral. Can a start setting it up from scratch again ?? any help

Might be worth taking the front sprocket cover off and monkeying around with the clutch release do-dads that lurk within.

Yep, I agree.

I was about to link you to the service manual downloads, but they're gone.
So here's the relevant page in case you don't have it.

This is a pointy, but iirc only the sprocket cover is a little different?

There's nothing wrong with your clutch - well, there wasn't but now you've buggered the adjustment.

Grease the pushrod mechanism while you're in there.
