The clutch pulls in real hard, i have lubricated the cable and thik the clutch may need to be adjusted and im not sure how to adjust it.

Dear Barry,
What you have suggested is the proper way to perform maintenance on the clutch.
Try the adjustment first., to see if that fixes it.
However,
even before you adjust the clutch, check each and every linkage and be sure all are free & clear, and are well lubricated.
Sticking linkage ( if you have any) can surely cause the problem, and also cause premature clutch failure.
God bless your efforts.

Try adjusting the clutch. Sounds like it won't fully disengage when the clutch is pulled in. Adjust the cable first. Make sure there is about the thickness of a quarter between the clutch cable and the perch. If it doesn't work then try adjusting it the same down at the bottom. Make sure you fully collapse the clutch cable if doing the adjustment down below first. Then once the bottom is adjusted, re adjust the cable by the perch. If that doesn't cure your problem then you need to go into the clutch itself.

Hi, this is a clutch adjustment issue. If you have maxed out the cable adjustment at the clutch lever, you will have to make adjustments down below, where the cable contacts the clutch cover. There's a million YouTube videos that will walk you through the process. If the bike still pulls forward when the clutch lever is engaged then your cable has probably stretched past its adjustment range over the years and needs to be replaced.

Good news, you just need adjust the clutch cable..

Always order the part for your model and year when getting parts and make sure it matches in length with the old one. Note how much cable is sticking out of the housing.
Is it 3 1/2 inches or 4 inches or 2 inches. make sure the new one matches.

Put the new cable on with lots of slack.Slack at the adjuster, and slack at the handlebar adjuster
Now pull the lever in, it will be easy because of the slack.let it stay there.
It will stay against the grip.
As you tighten the cable adjustment down by the cover, you'll notice the clutch lever move out.
Once it reaches the top, stop adjusting and pull it in again.
Continue adjusting and pulling the lever until the lever springs back to the top.
You can feel resistence which is the clutches disengaging.
Make sure there is 1/8" free play when the lever springs back.
Now turn the clutch cable adjust on the handlebar outward, which will remove the rest of the slack.
Only leave 2mm slack on the lever.

Now start your bike up and it should work like new.
You want your clutch to disengage within the first 1/2" of pulling the lever in.
This ensures the clutches are definately disengaged by the time you get the lever pulled back to the grip when shifting.

If your clutches are slipping or dragging no matter how you adjust the cable then your clutches may need replaced.
But sounds to me like its just an adjustment.
Hope to be helpful

I am assuming that the engine races on up-shifts rather than getting a good, positive clutch hook-up, so checking the following items would be a good place to start. Since the GS650 uses a rack and pinion style release, it has no true clutch "adjustment" except for cable and linkage play. First check that there is adequate free-play in the lever and cable- does clutch tension pull the lever hard against the perch bracket or is there some free-play? If there is play, also check that the lever pivots freely in the perch, since corrosion can often cause the lever to bind. If this checks out, you will need to determine if the release cable is binding. You will need to spin the cable adjuster on the lever perch inward to add as much play as possible, then disconnect the cable at both ends. Removing the lever pivot bolt is often the easiest method. Once both ends are disconnected, you should be able to pull the cable back and forth in the sheathing quite easily. If not, I recommend lubrication first (Use a commercially available cable lubricating tool from Bike Bandit- they are inexpensive and last a lifetime) or replacement if it is binding/dragging. I make it a practice to lubricate new cables prior to installation as well, since you will find operation and longevity improved. Last but not least, check the actuator lever on the clutch cover to insure that it rotates freely in the cover. Reinstall the cable and adjust, making sure that there is play. If this doesn't cure your clutch slippage issue, it will be time to replace your clutch.

see if there is a saftey switch on the kick stand that is probally your problem also chek the clutch cable adjustment put in gear pull the clutch and try to push it if its hard or locks up you need to adjust your clutch cable
