Dave and Bandit!
You guys rock! The pictures you posted helped immensely. When I originally took the clutch cover off (the small cover held on with 5 bolts), I had trouble getting the thing loose so when I whacked it with a rubber hammer, it popped off as if it were under pressure. The clutch lifter (part number 10 in the exploded veiw you gave me link to) fell out. I basically put it in backwards: I put the shaft of the lifter in thru the bearing in the center of the clutch thing that was still on the bike. It fit perfectly and I thought I did it right. After I saw your images, I realized what I did wrong and fixed it.
Here is the funny part, I thought the slot on the shaft that receives the clutch lifter was an oil passage or something. Duh!
Thanks for the help.
