Bad news... I tried to rotate and the realign the rod that pulls the clutch plates apart (as suggested by SibSerge). It didn't necessarily go flush against the little indent where it slides in to the right side case... I went to crank the bike back up and heard a little jingle from inside the right side case... like a piece of metal broken off... it got worse when I rev'd the bike so I shut it off immediately... looks like I'm bike to have to drain the oil and look inside... hopefully that will help me solve this issue... anyone had good luck cutting out their own gaskets from whole sheets of gasket paper? How about a food brand of oil and filter? I think that's the route I'm going to choose. I'll post pics of what I find inside...
