Hello,

I have a 1980 720 that I am slowly improving. first I thought the clutch. I went and got an after market clutch kit LUK Part # 06009. It doesn't seem to be disengaging all the way? Did I get the wrong clutch kit? It is installed correctly (did it twice after thinking I might have put it in wrong.) and the slave cylinder is moving the fork fine. The clutch pedal feels fine. I am not sure what transmission that is in it. From what I can tell from reading many other posts online that it is a FS5W71B or a FS5W71C. I don't know for sure how to tell the difference and I'm not sure that would affect the clutch not disengaging unless I would need a different clutch kit depending on what transmission I have.

Okay I did some thinking and I pulled the part numbers from the old clutch plate, but cant find anything about them so far. Here are the parts numbers for the pressure plate and the clutch.

pressure plate: PHT I think is the brand? the part number is C47594

clutch: PHT again and then part number is D48536

Thanks for any help as I'm biking it till I get this fixed.

I would take that clutch kit off and try a better one. That is just some cheep crap.
