Title: Clutch Trouble, Help.
Post by: bruce297 on March 15, 2007, 04:20:43 PM
So I just got bike out from the winter storage and am getting it ready to ride for another year. It started just fine, sounds great. But when I put it in gear it dies. It seems like the clutch is not engaging. Even when the bike is turned off and in gear when you pull in the clutch it won't move. Need some help. Tried to adjust the clutch cable at the handle bars but no luck.

The oil may have "glued" the clutch plates together.  Unscrew the dipstick and use a dull(?) flat screwdriver to gently pry apart the plates.
