Make sure all the adjusters are set correctly, then push the bike along in 1st gear with the clutch held in - rock it forwards and backwards and it should free off. It may be easier to do this with the engine warm.

Have you changed the gearbox oil? That would be a good first step.

front tyre up against a wall, hold front brake, give it some welly and dump it into 1st gear Wink

At least that's how i freed off the clutch on the GPZ.

I did this with a Supedream, but held the back brake on instead of tyre against a wall... it destroyed the gearbox.

Why have I got a "Troll Science" type cartoon in my mind?

Stuck clutch? Find a Bro. Get bro to hold on back brake (possibly using magnets) Rev engine.

Gearbox Problem?

Surely a stuck clutch is most likely due to badly adjusted cables. If thats not the reason then it's plates that have bonded tot he steels with manky old oil, or rusted to the steels. It might even be spring or actuator related. Either way The clutch cover needs to be removed and the whole lot taken a look at. You might get away with just taking it apart to free things up and putting it back together again. Or you might need new friction plates, steels and to scrub and rinse a load of shitty oil out of it.

Roll it along at about 5 mph, dump it into first, then drive along a bit and slowly bring the bike to a stop with the clutch pulled in and the revs up. Should free it.

If not then as frosty said the clutch plates will probably have stuck together.

What he said - it will only take half hour or so to drain the oil, take it apart, clean the plates with kitchen roll, put it all back together with new oil. You'll also see if any of the non-friction plates are bent which could be causing it.

What has been said before. My bikes plates stick after 3 days.

I just start it, get it rolling in 1st and let the clutch out then slowly brake but keep revving and the slower I go the more force through the clutch and it frees up.
