radioniwde, I agree with BRowan, we need more info. You say "the clutch will not engage" but (it) "shifts fine with engine turnedoff".. That doesn't sound correct.. Could you possibly mean the clutch won't disengage. An engaged clutchtransmits powerALL the time,, a disengaged clutch won't transmit powerat all. If your bike will move under power the clutch is engaging.hope someone can help.

exavid, I believe the 83 1100 has a cable clutch not a hydraulic unit.The guys already nailed your problem I think, sure sounds like the clutch isn't disengaging and most likely needs to be flushed and bled. Is there any chance the fluid level in the master got so low that air got into the system? Or is there a leak and there's no fluid in the system?
Yep, you're right I think it was the 84 where the hydraulic clutch came in. Shoulda looked at the topic heading. Man, that's two, I think I better go out in the shop and change some tires before the dementia gets worse:baffled:exavid wrote:exavid, I believe the 83 1100 has a cable clutch not a hydraulic unit.The guys already nailed your problem I think, sure sounds like the clutch isn't disengaging and most likely needs to be flushed and bled.

Twisty
radioniwde, obviously there are a multitude of reasons that your (his) clutch doesn't release so a proper lower (major) thena propercable adjustment would be the place to start.Ok gentelmen, I kind of goofed.
The clutch has been replaced, but a used basket was used.
When the engine is not running ,the clutch works fine and shifting is ok, But once engine is running, it will not shift. period.
This is not my bike so I'm getting the info from my friend.
