    xt 600 engine build

    so have just rebuilt the engine after the fifth gear change and two problems....one is the clutch will not disengage and the second it won,t start!!!

    I adjusted the clutch per the book so I have no idea what might be wrong ...the starting problem could be I put the cam in 180 degrees out!...

    Any idea,s more than welcome.I have put the engine in the bike so the first thing in the weekend is to re check the timing and drain the oil in preparation for another clutch strip...
