2005 400ex......i replaced my clutch and put everything back the way it came off. Now im putting my clutch cover back on and the clutch rod w/ the spring goes so far and then the rod wont turn and the cover wont go all the way on? honda rep. said to check my basket but everything is tight and in order. I dont know what im doing wrong? Its killing me and i have a guy wanting to buy it cash tomorrow!!!! I need to know what to do to get the cover onto the motor and back running!

Last question, you do have a Clymer manual right? It just doesnt seem like something is meshing right? Can you by chance take any pics?
