Forgive me if it's silly, I feel it might be... Nonetheless... I have changed the gear shift shaft and put the clutch together. Currently there's no engine oil or radiator fluid, but these are the only two things I need to add before starting the bike. However, when I wanted to shift the gears, I could do that but the clutch did not engage (i.e. when in gear and a clutch lever is pressed, the clutch is not engaged). Is that ok and when I fill in the engine oil, will the clutch engage?

Does the lever have pressure? like you can feel and hear the springs being engaged in the clutch?

The lever feels somewhat weaker (could be just an impression since I can hear springs engaging); obviously there's oil in the wire - I should have mentioned its a hydraulic clutch, ktm 250sxf 2013.

No I didn’t. The system was closed. It should be (is) hydraulically pressurized.
