You need to adjust the clutch, you may have to much free play, this causes the clutch to stay slightly engaged even with the handle is pulled all the way back. Another issue is did you use the correct engine oil, to heavy a oil will cause clutch stack drag.
Thanks yada,
I asume you mean the clutch cable when you say adjust clutch?
I use the manual spec yamalube every 4 to 5 races I change oil.
Thanks Ken
You could also have a worn out clutch pack or other clutch issue. Do you use synthetic oil, if not I would highly recommend that. And yes I mean the cable. I think it can be adjusted at both ends, to the engine end first if is an adjustment there.
I'll try adjusting the clutch cable tonight when I get out of work.... any recommendation on What synthetic brand to run?
Thanks Ken
Any go to the cycle geat website and research oils.
Thanks yada!!!! I will see what I can figure out
Did you figure out the issue? My son's 85 is doing the exact same thing

SOURCE: 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.

Your clutch is not fully disengaging.Adjust the cable at the lever until you have plenty of free play.Then adjust the cable at the motor until you have full engagement then readjust lever to 3/8 in play.Fine tune at the motor.It may take a few trys but you can get it.
SOURCE: no clutch pressure.
Your clutch lever should have a cable connected to it. Trace it from the lever down to the engine and make sure nothing is disconnected or out of place. That big knurled knob next to the lever is the adjusment and locknut for cable tension. Loosen lock nut, srew cable away from lever until you have only 1/4 " of play between lever and the stop. You should feel tension coming back into the lever...If you have a bicycle ,it is the same drill for adjusting your brakes...look and see...it may help you understand the process...any bicycle mech can show you...maybe a neighbor...Good Luck to you friend....Tim

Be sure the clutch lever is adjusted for 1/8" to1/4" free play at the outside end of the lever. If the oil is extremely dirty, the grit can cause the clutch to drag. Change the oil, ride for 30 minutes, then change the oil again to flush out the grit. The only other thing that normally messes up a clutch is using synthetic lubricants or oils with "Special" additives. They can swell the cork on the fiber friction plates causing the clutch to drag. Usually the plates need to be replaced when this happens. NEVER use synthetics in your bike. 10w40 motor oil is what should be in the engine. Please rate my answer. Thanks.
Testimonial: "thanks helped alot"
SOURCE: clutch
Hi, you might find the nut holding the clutch basket onto the shaft has come loose, so instead of pulling the clutch plates apart you are just pulling the clutch basket along the shaft.
or if the bike has sat for a while you might find the clutch plates have stuck together, this isn't that rare, you can start the bike and roll it along at about 1st gear speed,
then click it into gear,
then pull the clutch in and rev the engine, this should make the plates loose again.
hope this helps, please rate, thanks, good luck

Yada,
I have yet to open clutch up yet just trying to trouble shoot first....I have changed clutch cable and lever but only after this problem started.
I don't know if yamalube is synthetic or not I will look at the bottle I was just going by manufacturer specifications
