[QUOTE="mcgovern61, post: 30753, member: 59"] 1) Lets start with the choke...there is a nut where the choke cable passes through the handle bars. Tighten it a touch and the choke should stop snapping back. 2)Add 10 oz of ATF (automatic transmission fluid) to your oil and get your engine comepletely warmed up (I mean like let the fan come on at least 4 times) then drop your oil out while it is hot. Change the oil to 10w40 and run it again. Work your clutch in and out while holding your throttle at 3000 RPMs. Go back to idle and see if it is still hard to get in gear. More than likely, your clutch is gummed up. (Might be due to replace the plates) 3) Leaking gas is never good! The floats on the carbs are most likely not adjusted and the gas is leaking while you are sitting. (Careful because it may be leaking into your crankcase...gas and oil don't mix and could also be a the problem with your clutch). Close your gas petcock (left side of bike) whenever it is truned off. 4) Could be someone removed the other cable. Look through the left side of the engine at the back where the carb throttle control is and see if there are two cable attached (one at the top and one at the bottom) If two are there, one is out of adjustment or broken.
