At2M Running! Clutch feels like it won’t disengage all the way was created by Thanney

So I finally got the bike to turn on! It ran pretty well and I was able to ride it a bit. It died and when I tried to kick it back on it wouldn’t run. When pushing with the clutch engaged it feels sticky, almost like it’s not disengaging fully. I’ve messed with the clutch cable to no avail.

Any ideas on source? I’ve realized I’m running 10w40 instead of 10w30. Maybe the extra viscosity is causing my issue?

I haven’t messed with the clutch yet so it might be worn.

It's not the oil.  Could be a lot of things. When bikes sit a long time, the clutch plates can get stuck.  Sounds like yours isn't completely stuck though.  Could be adjustment or something too.  You should be able to start and run in neutral, clutch won't affect that.

Oh, and feeling some drag as you described could be completely normal.  It's not going to push as easy in gear with clutch pulled as it does in neutral.
