Stupid question, but my clutch actuator lever at the engine end, is rattling from side to side enough that I can here it when I am riding. I have tried tightening up the cable but that doesnt stop it. The rattle is side to side, is this something I should investigate further?
Thanks

Pull the cover, lube the pivot and the rods with grease. You might find that the pivot pin has worn the holes oblong which is not a good thing. These areas need to stay greased up and adjusted correctly. Make sure there is a wad of grease where the last rod sits in the actuator arm also

OK, pulle the cover off, there is wear, but have decided to leave it for winter, grease everything up, put it back together, and now I have no clutch. The actuator arm moves as far as it will go but the clutch does not disengage the drive Any ideas?
it gets better then it gets worse

OK the clutch works now, but because I called the bike all sorts of bad names screw number 30 on the cover threaded. As this will be a pain to fix because ALL the treads cameout on the screw, anyone have any thoughts on riding without it until winter?.
