Put the bike in neutral and let it run. The plates are just dry from sitting. This will get the clutch wet with oil. After running it for around 15 minutes turn it off. Wait for a hour or so. Check to see if it is free, without the engine running. Put in gear and see if it will roll with the clutch in. If not do it again. It will unfreeze. Now the rest of the story, if it has sit this long you may need to change the clutch plates.

Bike wont move when in gear

Check your clutch lever throw out clearance it may be too high, or clutches may be worn. Adjust your free play clearance and test again, double check you are not in neutral.

Clutch pedal wont move why?

Hi Joseph:
For the clutch pedal to move, the clutch has to dis-engage. I don't know what vehicle you're playing with, but if it's been sitting a long time it's possible that the clutch plate is stuck (rusted?) to the flywheel. Check out the linkage from the pedal through to the clutch. There may be grease fittings in hidden places, and the linkage may be seized with rust.
Last resort is to remove the cover from the bottom of the bell housing to get access to the clutch plate. You can either remove the clutch plate, or try (GENTLY) to pry the clutch plate away from the flywheel. Once unstuck, it should function.
WORK SAFE!

Wont shift while engine is on

First thing to check is that the clutch master and slave cylinders are working normally, does the clutch lever feel normal? If the feel is normal then keep reading, if not fix it first. Has the bike been sitting for a while? If so the clutch is likely stuck. To un stick it with the engine off put the bike in high gear, hold the clutch lever in, and rock the bike forward and back, with any luck after 2 or 3 bumps you will be able to push the bike with the clutch held in. If you are unsuccessful this way you can hold the clutch in, sit on the bike and hold the brake, then bump the starter. Caution if the clutch does not free up the bike will move forward, be ready for it. If neither one of these methods work the only thing left is to disassemble the clutch to free it up.

Six gear on my 2007 street glide feels like it is slipping the rpm shoots up when i go to pass a car over 65 miles per hour. the 6th gear light also turns off when i accelerate the lights back up after i...

Adjust the clutch and see if it helps. Find the cable adjuster in the clutch cable and move the rubber boot up or down. Loosen the lock nut and turn the cable adjuster in to get as much slack in the cable as possible. Then, take the derby cover off. In the middle of the clutch is the clutch adjuster. Loosen the lock nut and turn the adjuster screw inwards until you feel a resistance. Do not force the screw or you'll bust your inner clutch hub. Back the screw off and turn it in several times to get the feel of it. Turn it in until you feel the resistance and then back off 1/2 turn. Tighten the lock nut and replace the derby cover. Then go back to the cable adjuster and turn the adjuster barrel outwards until you have about an 1/8 inch of freeplay. Tighten the lock nut and replace the rubber boot. See if that will help your problem. The gears cannot slip as your transmission is a constant mesh type design.

Good Luck
Steve

Clutch seems to be seized because bike has been sitting for years

Is the clutch lever sized or is the plates sized?
Usually the plates inside sizes, all you have to do is select gear 2 or 3 without starting the bike's engine,operate the clutch lever and push the bike,it should release, the rear wheel should now rotate freely with clutch lever in operation and in gear.
Hope this helps!

99 vstar 1100 quits when put in gear

couple of things to look for.

1. when you're putting it in gear, is the kick stand up or down. if down, most modern day bikes have a kick stand safety switch which will not allow you to put the bike in gear with the side stand down. this little relay may have failed. its usually located near the kick stand.

2. clutch disks may be stuck together. it happens on my old bikes from sitting too long (over a winter). when i pop it into first gear after i start it w/ clutch lever pulled, it will buck forward and die. i have to repeat a few times to get them unstuck.

good luck

Stalling problem from neutral to first gear

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

Initially, if the bike will be run without its own battery, the engine will really stall. This is because there will be no consumer for the voltage output other than the ignition system which will clamp down when the engine is revved and the voltage tends to go higher still.

Just a start, do postback how things turned up or should you need additional information. Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa.

1100 wierd clutch disengage problem

Bleed your slave cylinder on the sprocket cover and refill the hydraulic fluid. If you have any leaks you will get air in the system and it will not fully disengage the clutch. As for the 750, they have cable clutches and you just need to adjust the slack of the cable.
