Is the clutch cable too tight or need adjustment after adding the risers?

There is also a safety switch for the clutch lever.

How exactly how does it "not start"?
If the starter/engine doesn't turn over, then it's likely you have a safety switch problem. There is also one for the kickstand, probably.

If it turns over but won't fire, then the problem is probably not in the clutch and may be just a coincidence.
