Clutch not disengaging
Hi guys,
I have a 2001 SV650s that i had an accident on last year. After getting it ready to go back on the road i now discover that my clutch wont disengage. After searching here and playing with the adjustments, no matter how far in or out I screw the adjuster screw it still wont disengage. Could this be something inside the clutch? |

Re: Clutch not disengaging
If it has been laid up for a while the plates might have stuck together. Try putting it in gear (higher the better), holding the back brake on and thumbing the starter. Might shock it loose

We done this, knocked it into 1st gear and it didn't work, so we put back into neutral and left the cable tie on. The next night we started the bike and let if warm for 25min and tried it again... bingo! we had clutch movement. |

Shock tactics to break it free are good,but not with the starter motor unless you fancy repairing the starter engaging mechanism.

Re: Clutch not disengaging
My Gas Gas enduro bike does this all the time, I just start it in neutral, warm it up a bit then push it to get it rolling and drop it into gear. Once moving I just pull the clutch in and blip the throttle a few times, soon frees it off. Bit harder with a heavier bike like the SV but the principal should still work, just make sure it's a quiet road with not to much traffic about. If you can't push it fast enough to drop it into gear switch off once warm, put it into gear and thumb the starter, there should be enough umph in the starter to bump it forward and start the engine.
