    Hi. I'm having some trouble adjusting my clutch cable. First off there's no spring at the end of the cable at the crankcase. Does this spring just help the cable/ lever spring back? The Main problem is either the clutch is not engaging when the lever is pulled in(making shifting rough and obviously not good for the gears), nor disengaging all the way when let out in gear(which would probably result in burning out my clutch?) There's a very slight happy medium adjustment span that will allow me to drive the bike. But when i adjust it either way it will stall when i put it in gear, or not let out all the way. Any advice would be very appreciated. Thanks

    Thanks for the reply Khunangkaro. It was my starter. No brushes what-so-ever. $58 for a shop to do it. $44 dollars labor- $4 parts.

    hey. Im definitely new to motorcycles in general. I have a problem with starting my bike. It's a 1982 Sr 250. When i bought the bike it had a new battery. The problem was when i would hit the start button the starter solenoid would just click. I'd have to put the bike in gear, rock it back and forth, then put it back in neutral and then it'd turn over and start.(Sometimes after a few time of doing this process) Now only the starter solenoid clicks continually and doesn't turn over at all. So my question is does this just sound like a bad starter solenoid? And can you bypass the solenoid to make sure its not the starter? Thanks
