forzen cultch ngc

 You know those projects that just sat and sat for some reasons? Well that's my 09 KLX250-351, this winter I got back to putting it back together after a couple of years and fixing it's issues it had, and now that it is back together the clutch is stuck and will not disengage. I tried putting a strap on the clutch lever engaging it overnight, but still stuck, next I lifted the rear up and started it then put it into second (first gear it just stalled) gave the motor some rpm's but the motor is still stuck. Any other tricks before i dig into it?

When the "cultch" stuck on my XT500, I started the engine in neutral, drifted/pushed the bike downhill and jammed it into second gear. Then, pulled in the clutch lever and vigorously twisted the throttle on and off. It broke free after a just a few on/off cycles.

I'll give it a try. Thanks.

‘Sounds uncomfortable….

Put it in the highest gear it has and start it in gear with the back wheel off the ground on a soft surface.
With the engine at 2,000 rpm, hold on to your hat with the lever in and dump it onto the spinning wheel, it will either fix it or break something.
A better way is to pull the plates out, wash them, make sure there are no indentations on the basket teeth and throw the whole shooting match back in…
That’ll work.

Sure, you ‘ could ’ do it that way.
