Alright... So my clutch release arm bucket was broken and I got a new to me one from MD86. So after replacing the arm and re-assembling my bike I am still having a problem.
The problem that I am having right now is I cannot get the clutch to disengage, meaning when I place the bike into first from neutral when the bike is running the clutch is still engaged and the bike just stalls out. I have adjusted the clutch cable multiple times to no avail. The clutch arm moves and is not binding up.... So what is wrong?
I called the dealer ship and talked to the service tech. He told me that the bike had been sitting thru the winter(which it had) that the clutch plates might be stuck together and that I should take the bike out, rev the engine and just dump the clutch and that might unstick the plates.
The question I have about his suggestion is this. Won't that hurt my clutch if the plates are not stuck together?
