Clutch doesn't disengage with engine off
« on: August 29, 2014, 08:14:57 AM »
Hi all,

So I haven't started my engine yet because I'm slowly attaching everything, but should I be able to move my bike in gear with the clutch pulled in?

I realize the true test should be to start it and let everything reach operating temps.....but I'm curious. ..

I remember when I was looking at the clutch all the plates and disc's measured like new and they all looked good.

Is this normal for a newly rebuilt unstarted engine?
