Clutch not disengaging.

[Frosty Rider]

if all of that fails to correct your issue, then it is also possible that you may warped steels in between each friction disk in the clutch, hopefully it is just the other options that you have been provided though

Keep us posted on your progress and let us know when you have it resolved. Nothing worse than people that bow out in the end without an update when members have offered help. Poor form....

To be fair. Half the things I ask and try and fix I never end up fixing....

It can be tricky trying to get everything aligned, when putting the cover back on.

I am dumb, haven't ridden the bike in so long I forgot that it won't start with the kickstand down, made way to many adjustments but now I have free play in the cable, waiting for the bike to charge to test drive it now. Edit, now the clutch won't disengage when I start the bike, if the battery was charged I could drive it off of the starter so I have now clue what's going on.

Firstly, don't feel dumb. I done almost the exact same thing when I replaced my detent spring. I couldn't work out why the bike kept stalling when I released the clutch, it was driving me crazy and I was about to start stripping the bike again assuming I had done something wrong. Turns out I was trying to ride off with the kickstand down and the engine was cutting out .
Secondly, and this is kinda related to the first point and might help. The bike can be started with the kick stand down if it is in neutral (mine will anyway, I'm assuming that's normal but I've never checked). This way you can at least get it started and see what happens from there if you put it in gear. It might be something simple like the clutch is too dry and it still transmits force even when released , with the bike running the clutch will get oiled and might free up?

Clutch not disengaging.

Put a new detent spring, barnett clutch, and barnett red springs into my 2011 triumph rocket 3. Now attempting to get the clutch set right and it is not disengaging. I tried the 3mm of free play and it wouldn't start, jacked the bike up and the rear tire started spinning when it turned over any...

This can be tricky as the tolerances are tight, once the dots are aligned and you got the 3mm play, it should be right, if not, id ask myself, did i have free play in lifter shaft after i tightened up basket, did i take pressure plate down evenly, if not, did i correct, washer, wavy washer, no washer, to get play in the lifter shafter, i think its like 1 to 2 mm, check in book, did i get the large spacer back in the correct position, did i seat the clutch drive completely, the big spacer is it correct, did i leave a steel plate in or maybe a judder washer, this was a new barnett kit so no more judder springs (2) should have come out, these are a few more of the things to verify if you have to open it back up. Hopefully the dots get ya there.

Don't feel bad.... Last braindead thing I did was use a torque wrench on my ex500 water pump. It's a reverse thread... Stripped it off... Snapped the bolt. Turns out cheap 1/4 Niko torque wrenches don't work in reverse. Ever since then I tear them in a vice. Very costly mistake...
