Clutch not springing back

1. loosen the outer center nut on the pressure plate almost all the way off
2. hold the clutch lever (the part that the cable hooks onto in the motor) and gently push it towards the front of your bike to relieve the spring tension
3. Now with a small phillips turn the center shaft in which ever direction it takes to align the pointer marks up as you are applying a little pressure to lever shouldn't take many turns you will feel it move. [usually clockwise]
4. When it is aligned, let the lever go it will go off the arrow due to spring tension that's ok. Keep your screw driver on there and take your wrench 10mm and tighten the center nut down snug while holding the center rod tight so it doesn't move.
5. Now take a socket and tighten it down good but becareful you dont overtighten it and snap it just a good snug tight is perfect. 5 ft lbs is what the manual says.
6. Put the cover back on, make sure your spring for the kick gear is in the hole when you do this or you'll be replacing some more parts down the road (experience talking here!).
7. attach the cable back up and adjust that just until you feel the springs on the pressure plate start to hit, then back off 1/8 turn and try that, ya may need to play with the adjustment on the handle bar lever as it warms up.

Kickside, Try the search and also download the manual in my sig. Read the manual first, then start removing stuff.
Dang it sheeblast lol

ok cool, i have a lot of play in the end down on the bottom where the cable connects to.. when i move it by finger it has a little tension but NO WHERE NEAR what im guessing it should have.. Seems too loose.. and the spring thats there is loose also. I can lift the end up and down.. am i supposed to be able to do that? something break inside?
Sorry for my lack of Non mechanical terms.. Im not too familiar with ATVs, The part I am talking about is the Push lever assembly... the spring underneath it is very loose.. It springs back when i push it with my finger, but it seems that it doesnt have full strength.. know what i mean? Instead of a quick pull, it seems to have a weak pull
The clutch springs on the pressure plate are what you're pulling against when you pull the clutch. Try the adjustment above and see if it helps. If your old cable was stretched and you replaced it, it will need adjusted anyway.
Just the recessed nut.. I cant get to it, it is in the Clutch boss.

Sounds like its missing. Mine was. I would check around in the clutch cover to see if that nut's still hanging around. Don't want that getting in the way. When you do the adjustment use locktight on it.
There is nowhere for the lock nut to go on.. I have no threaded area sticking out anywhere... I have the 5 bolts holding the plate and in the middle i have the recessed nut.
Is there a rod with a phillips head in the center? That will screw out. Thats where you do the adjustment
Here's an exploded view of the clutch
Part 17 is what you're seeing recessed in the clutch. Part 19 & 20 is whats missing. Part 18 is what part 20 threads onto.
