i have a clutch problem. i started by relpacing the plates because one day when i was riding i could not get it into gear so someone on here told me that i needed to relpace my clutch plates. So i got a new kg clutch and put it in and now i have the same problem. did i put them in wrong? is it something else?

the clutch is pretty straight forward, friction steel until they are all in there, there is a line up mark on the case that needs to line up when the clutch has pressure, when you pull the lever as soon as you feel the free play is gone check the line up if it is before or after adjust the phillips screw in the cap to get it lined up, make sure the ball is in between the 2 rods
it took me 4 or 5 times to get this right, very frustrating,
do all this with the cable disconnected at the hand lever so it doesnt effect the internal adjustment,
open her up, again!!!, loosen the locknut and screw, back it out a little, (the adjustment shaft in the middle of the clutch basket)
then where the cable connects to the motor lever,theres a notch that lines up, look on the engine lever for the little point and a mark on the case, line these up, make sure it doesnt move while adjusting, a freind would be good here,
then move to the other side, tighten the rod in with a small straight screwdriver till you feel it touch, then i think i read somewhere to back it off 1/2 a turn,then tighten the locknut, <<<<definately use locktite here, mine almost came loose, and thats disaster,
then reconnect the cable to the hand lever, and adjust your slack
i also did this with the wheels off the ground, so i could spin them with the clutch lever pulled in,to see if the wheels spun free, or if there was engine lag as i released it, before i put it all back together
