Help.

Just broke my bike out for the spring. Started just fine. But when you put it in gear if dies. Seems like there is something maybe wrong with the  clutch.

 is the kickstand up???

Ya the kick stand is up. Thought it might be a problem with the kickstand switch but when the clutch is engaged and you try to shift into first the bike dies. When it is shifted into first when the clutch is engaged it feels like the clutch isn't working cause as it is dying it is pulling forward a little bit also.

It's only been stored for 2 months. I don't think that the clutch plates would be stuck together after that short of time. I tired adjusting the clutch actuator with no luck. Bike still dies when shifted into gear.

It may be the side stands switch.. or the clutch switch  OHM those suckers out 

I'm not sure if it's the side stand. When the bike is off and put in gear, it won't roll even when the clutch is pulled in. If it was the side stand switch it should roll when the bike is off and the clutch is engaged. How do i check the clutch switch?

If it wont roll then it is something else... Are you sure its in -N- ? is the -N- Light on? The clutch cable may be broken? or...

Is the clutch adjusted properly?

When the bike is in neutral it rolls just fine, but when it is shifted into gear it won't move even when the clutch is engaged and if the bike is running when it is shifted into gear it dies.

Still don't think the clutch plates are sticking together?

Unscrew the dipstick, grab the clutch lever and squeeze it a few times shile watching the plates through the dipstick hole.  If you can see the plates moving, then your plates are not stuck together.  Fair enough?

Ok. So took the dip stick out and watched the clutch plates as clutch was pulled. Plates did not move at all. So I guess the plates are stuck together. You guys were right. I just didn't think they would do that after only 2 months of storage. So I took a screw driver and gently pried apart the plates. Then pulled the clutch the plates moved once but then would not move after that. They would move about one time after prying the plates but would then get stuck together again. How do I unstick them?

Sounds like the Fingers on your Basket are Notched.Been Shifting Hard or without the Clutch?Even with Gentle Use the Fingers get Notched after a while.Shifting Hard Just Makes them Notch Faster and Deeper.If you need a New Clutch I have one from a 5500 Mile Motor I'll sell.

The clutch only needs a minute amount of space to disengage.  When you saw it move for the first time, you probably saw the innermost plates come away from the basket, right?  Then you didn't because all of the plates where moving evenly.

Or, you need to rotate the basket so you can unstick the plates all the way around (just rotating the motor 180 degrees will do the trick).

Or...the oil needs to be warmed up to 'cook' and loosen up the plates.  Oil, when it's cold, can coagulate and cause the plates to 'stick' together.  Get that motor runnin'...

Or, what Jughead said.

Have you run the bike, now?

I haven't run the bike very long. I'll let it run for awhile toady and see if that does the trick. If that doesn't how do I rotate the basket or rotate the motor 180 degrees?

Alright, I let my  bike run for bout 30 minutes and the clutch plates have come loose so now I'm good to go. Thanks for all help.

You're welcome!

For future reference: to rotate the motor over by hand, I suggest removing the small, round, left-hand ignition cover (there's no oil behind it, so you don't have to drain the oil)(3 x 7mm bolts for ref.), and use a 19mm wrench, or socket and ratchet to rotate the motor over clockwise.  Do it slowly; you may hear air leaking inside the engine, that's okay, it's air squeezing past the valves or rings on the compression stroke, you'll feel resistance at this time.  No worries.

Others will suggest putting the bike on the centerstand, and then in gear, and using the rear wheel to rotate the motor.  Your choice.
