My new bike ate my shorts!

Idk if this makes sense, but try this. Take that flower nut back out. Clutch plate loose. THEN put the bucking bar, bearing, and sprocket cover together. Then you will be able to press on the bucking bar with the clutch lever there on the engine, which will take all the pressure off the flower nut and it will be super easy to screw in. You won't bugger it up any farther.

I made a video about- Truing, Balancing crankshaft and 'stuffing' the crank case

No, even with the clutch disassembled its the same - it 'should' be just the compression on the big spring but it feels solid. It still all turns freely

Could the clutch shaft not be in all the way? I mean the whole assembly thingy?

Is there 2 balls in there?

Exactly!- I started a thread on this- https://motoredbikes.com/threads/clutch-assembly-issues.66790/ It seems that there is no thrust face for it all to work against- It just floats in the cases without location. I was hoping a few smacks with a soft faced hammer would fix it- but no.

That is just what its like !- seriously that is what its like!- except it also seems that the whole assembly is sitting 5mm over to the left as the gears dont mesh properly I just started a dedicated thread with photos https://motoredbikes.com/threads/clutch-assembly-issues.66790/

Stick a magnet in there and see if you fish out two. Or squirt some carb cleaner in the hole.
