i got my pitpro 125rr last night put it all together and the clutch wont work.. it feels like its working when i pull on it but when i put it in 1st and hold it in the wheel wont spin freely.. i have ajusted the cable and can work out why its not working

is the motor running while your doing this? my guess is no
just adjust the cable freeplay put it in neutral and start it up, if its the first time you have started it just let it idle for about 2 min with just giving it light throttle blips then sit on it pull the clutch and and hold the front brake on (just in case) then click it into first, if bike doesn't stall then your clutch is working fine. Remember these are a WET clutch which means they won't work properly if they don't have oil on them.

yes just as spoon said. these are wet clutches and will not work until they are wet. starting the motor in neutral and letting it run for 2min approx. allows the oil to circulate around the motor/gearbox and wet the clutch. then engage 1st gear (with the clutch in) and see what happens.
if you have any more dramas let us all know

thats good to hear mate. just check over everthing else and she will be sweet. dont forget to change your oil from the run-in oil to 20w50 once you have run through a couple of tanks

When you havn't started the bike and it is cold, it wont roll with the clutch in.

It happens with my mates thumpstar, my MSO, my mates no name, my mates atomik AND my RM

just wanting to clarify what your asking there redbaron199, the bike is idling to high when you are stopped and have the clutch pulled in but still in gear? does the idle drop when you kick it into neutral?

if your riding and then you pull in the clutch its supposed to rev higher

yeah when in neutral it idels perfectly but when riding and pull in the clutch it seems to rev to hard
