Do you think that material can be welded?it seems like its galvanized metal...

While adjusting my front brake cable, the mount broke! Has this ever happened to anyone? Any suggestions you guys have that wont require taking the whole front wheel off and will secure the cable? Any help would be great! Thanks

Yea. Everything is in place. Only had the screw out because I took it apart for the pictures. The shaft is fine. I'm left with something in the clutch itself is wrong. The gears shift fine and bike runs good. Just shift without the clutch. I do need the clutch to get into 1st though. As soon as...

Ok guys. I've lubed the cable and readjusted the actuator multiple times. The bike is still acting up. I can shift throughout all the gears and drive perfectly normal. Even took it on the highway today but when I do press the clutch and engage it, I cant shift! Anyone have any idea what is going...

yea im loosening it. im right in the middle where its bearable. any looser and i cant press my lever and any tighter then the clutch wont engage. Is something wrong with my clutch/transmission for me to be able to drive and shift without clutch? All i need the clutch for is stopping and getting...

Here are the pictures of the setup. Is the ball suppose to be that deep? I took her out and tried shifting through all the gears earlier. For some reason I was able to shift through all the gears without the clutch while riding! I'm confused! I know its not the transmission but something with...

I cant see that picture but the ball is in there. Its way in there. I'm wondering if it should be that deep in there. Ill take some pictures here in a bit and post it up. Thanks for all the help so far guys.

The engine isnt on. When the engine is on and I shift to first with the clutch still engaged, the bike is already wanting to move. Its almost as if the clutch is barely engaged. Just enough to shift. What do you mean by gearchange setup? Inside the chain cover?

After hours of adjusting, the clutch is just not budging. The pedal is still hard and its really hard to shift out of first. The engagement point is really low towards the handlebar and it seems to barely engage. I'm running out of ideas. I'm starting to think it could be my transmission.

I adjusted the actuator wrong but I didnt see a ball bearing in there. The owner before me must have lost it. Would this explain why the clutch was so hard and barely shifted into gear? Does anyone know the size of the ball bearing? Another question, is the cable adjuster on the top of the chain...

i took everything apart. Also changed the chain. Now it seems like my clutch is not engaging at all. The lever feels fine now. Did I mess up in the reinstallation? Is there a certain way to reinstall the bearings thing that the clutch cable connects to? Any help would be great. Thanks

I'm going to give that a try today. Im hoping its not the transmission.

anyone have any idea?

So I finally got my 71 Honda CL350 to start and run. The only problem now is that, its really hard to shift both with the engine on and off. I could go through all the gears and itll run fine but shifting is extremely hard. The clutch lever is also really hard. Any ideas on where to start...
