I have a 1987 KZ1000P-6 that has been setting for about 5 months. The clutch cable was replaced in may of 2002 and has about 2000 miles on it. Now there seems to be no adjustment, the lever has play over a third of it's travel and then gets extremly hard to move. The adjustment cam only has a quarter turn of movement in either direction. The clutch stays engaged all the time. Any thoughts?
