    Hi,
    Today, I was working on re-jetting my bike (1980 390 OR) and took it for a spin for about 10 min. Suddenly clutch started to not disengage - There was always drag just like being in first gear and releasing the clutch.
    I did ride the bike bunch of times before this and never happened before.

    Only difference i would notice is; today was very hot day compare to before. ( 84F ) - Not sure if this would make difference?
    Transmission Oil > Honda HP Trans Oil SAE 80W/85W

    as an extra;
    Is there anyone that has the Owner' Manual for one of the years between 1978-1980 (I only have owner's manual for 390 Auto)
    I would like to check basic clutch setup...adjusting cable...etc

    Thank you
