Hey everyone!
So I inherited a nearly mint 1993 Katana 1100 with 5K miles on it that belonged to my grandpa. The bike has been sitting for probably close to 20 years. Long story short, I finally got it running but it will not move!
The bike will shift into gear, but as I let the clutch out, it doesn't move. The bike can be in any gear, with the clutch all the way out and it doesn't move. It acts like every gear is neutral even though it seems to shift into all the gears with the shifter. When the bike is off, and in gear it will even roll. I haven't changed the engine oil in it yet, any ideas? Could something have corroded together, or does it sound like something is mechanically broken?
I appreciate any help or insight that is offered!
Thanks!
