Hi All
First off Merry Xmas
So having a few days off I have managed to get my LC real close to getting on the road.
The only problem is that when I pull the clutch lever in the change gear the bike just stalls.
I have checked adjustment at the lever and at the screw/locknut at the engine side cover, both look fine.
Before I start going further a bit of advice would be great, I have feeling I am going to stripping out the clutch (not done that before) but I thought I would ask first.
Anyway thanks in advance, Daz

They pretty much always stall when putting 1st gear in if the engine (gearbox) is cold. The cold oil makes the clutch sticky and it stalls very easily. This problem has always been much worse for me in the winter time of the year, I don't usually have the problem in the summer (well, at least not often, more like... very rarely) unless the clutch cable is so slack that the clutch almost doesn't disengage at all when pulling the lever in. Anyway, try rolling the bike forward slowly when putting 1st gear in, it shouldn't stall as easily then.

Yep, totally agree with the above. Just double check the pushrod adjustment is correct. You will also find the problem goes away with a bit of 'use'.
