    Did it engage and gogo before you did the clutch?

    Pretty sure the primary drive chain is actually the link from the crank to the gearbox on the 550 so if it didn't engage before that may be an issue.

    Double check the actuator lever on the clutch cover.... dot you have it set right? Did you adjust the cable settings for the new clutch?
