full disengagement

Excuse me. I think I should have described the clutch housing as the inner most part of the assembly.

Ron,

Your issue was with the transmission bearing retainer that had come loose. That was allowing the complete input shaft and complete clutch assembly to move.That movement would not allow the clutch to properly release.

Slow down, you are mixing up a bunch of issues now with carbs and jetting and shift kits...

Lets get one problem resolved before moving onto the next issue.

I just want to get this nailed down because it says you rode the bike...I think.

So, the clutch will not fully disengage and the bike dies when coming to a stop?

If the clutch is not fully disengaging the bike should die as soon as you drop it into gear.

But, if that was the case, the bike would be un-ridable unless a rolling start was an option.

Looking at the master cylinder you are using, you do need to check the brass pivot bushing for wear as well.

okay so the inner clutch hub does rotate when the clutch is pulled. i rode the bike from a semi rolling start. the outer hub does not move with clutch pulled. i checked the brass bushing and it didn't appear to be too worn. i can replace it and see if that makes the difference. there is good pressure at the lever. i am not worried about how the bike is running until i can get the clutch to work fully. anyone know where i can get the bushing for a vfr800 lever?

Not knowing what year master cylinder you have. Here is an example for a 2005 VFR800. They are used on a very large selection of Honda's covering 30 years.

it is a model year 2000 m/c. i will be ordering a bushing, it isnt worn through yet but it could be a few mm shy of full disengagement
