Default Clutch dragging/stuck.

Hi All,

After not using the bike over the last couple of months, I went to bring it out today but no.....

When I put it into gear, it stalled.

Looks like the clutch isn't engaging or something.

I adjusted it to make sure it wasn't too loose, but no joy.

I can't even move it in gear while it's switched off with the clutch in.


What's wrong ??? Seriously worried something's seized over the winter !!!

Default Re: Clutch Problem...help !

The clutch plates are probably just stuck together due to lack of use and cold thick oil. Let it tick over until fully up to temp and try again.
