    I just replaced the clutch cable on my 93 Seca II and am having a very odd issue. I can use the clutch to roll the bike in gear and to take off in first but when i clutch in to shift on the move the bike wont shift. It feels like the clutch is actually jamming the shifter in place. If I let off the clutch I can then shift up or down to the next gear. What did i screw up when i replaced the cable?

    put some pressure on the shifter before you pull the clutch in
