replace the rings as they have lost their tension
make sure that they are free to move in the grooves as to score a cylinder normally results on the ring lands closing up on the rings and jamming them
Hey Anon,
First, make sure the clutch is adjusted correctly..This video is a basic tutorial.. use it for a guide BUT DO the steps as I TELL YOU..
1. Loose the cable adjuster at the handle bar.. run the adjuster in - (give it as much slack as you can)
2. The clutch actuator lever on the engine case should be able to move about 8mm (.325") before it starts to disengage (gets hard to move)..
3. Adjust the cable at the bottom adjustment to take up any slack at this point.. ..you MIGHT/should be able to feel some (NOT FULL TENSION) clutch disengagement in the handle bar (clutch) lever at this point.. IF YOU CAN'T - tighten the cable at the bottom adjustment ONE round at a time until you can feel (a small amount) tension and have at least/about 12mm (.48") max. of play in the lever (BETWEEN THE LEVER AND THE MOUNT when YOU START TO FEEL TENSION... - NOW - in the clutch lever (handle bar).. when you can feel tension in the lever... >> you should start adjusting the lever to have (at least) approximately 1/8" - (3mm) of play (gap) between the lever and mount.. when you have this set correctly, the clutch adjustment question is eliminated. If the adjustment has not helped and you had to do A LOT of adjusting. you need to replace the clutch cable.. and do this adjustment process again. NOW adjustment is NOT part of your problem. If this fixes your problem GREAT!!
.. If not.. now.. we have to move internally..The next issue will be grooves worn into the arms of the clutch basket be the fiber clutch plate ears..(see picture) (the ones that keep the plates stationary when you shift to help disengage the clutch). Also check the actuator arm (see picture below) for wear..
. How to Adjust Clutch
Ok.. if you have gotten this far and everything seems good, reinstall AFTER YOU HAVE METICULOUSLY CLEANED THE BASKET!! The clutch should be working now.

I would use a NGK Platinum Plug (R6918B-8 or BR8EIX/BR9EIX) and try to cut back a little on the oil mixture to gas ratio or adjust the gap a little hotter.

The water pump is in the motor case and has a leaking seal. Anti freeze is leaking past the water pump seal into the transmission. Take your water pump apart and replace the seals. The fluid should be escaping out a weep hole in the bottom of the pump, so when you have it apart be sure and dig the mud out of the weep hole to keep from filling the motor with anti freeze if this ever happens again. If there is no weep hole then it must not have been designed with one.
does it fell like its going into gear? if yes,when you let the clutch out does try to move?.This would indicate the clutch was worn out,if it won't go into gear it would mean the cable or clutch were out of adjustment.
The VIN listed has only 16 digits. There should be 17 digits. Recheck the numbers then go to the following website to decode the VIN. Then you will know exactly what bike you have. Please rate my answer. Thanks. http://www.motoverse.com/tools/vin/suzuki.asp
