Yup...Was missing the bearing on the clutch side. Put one in and it worked like a dream. Rode for the first time in 14 months. Thanks for your input guys.

Actually - I'm a fuckin' moron. I re-read my haynes manual again and I'm 84% sure I'm missing the 5/16 ball bearing thats on the clutch side of the push rod. Will update tomorrow after I check if it's there/buy another one from home depot.

I have a MAC 2-into-1 exhaust and I didn't have to rejet my carbs after the switch. It probably wasn't running optimally, but it ran. Since then I have gone up in size.

Judging by how bright the tail light is while the bike is on, I'm assuming that the brake light is stuck on. When I press either brake, it doesn't change intensity. Is there anyway to remedy this, or am I going to have to buy a new part?

I need one as well. Let me know if you find more than one!
