Hi all
Sorry to ask yet another question but I really cannot get my head around the current situation.

I got the bike running again, also idling nicely.

When running I couldn't get it in gear (Just crunching). When the engine isn't running I put it in gear (Lifted gear pedal up once). Tried to push the bike and it wouldnt move so had engaged. I then hold clutch in and it still wont move (not disengaging). So I adjusted the clutch on the so it released more and so it would disengage. I then go to try and kick the engine over (in nutral) and I am not getting compression at all, sort of a kick with no resistance at all, not even like the decompressor is on. So I adjust the cutch out again and it gets compression on the kick.

Could be something very simple I suppose (I hope!).

Alos I have no gear "indicator" which is the little dial on the gear pedal which show what gear you are in.

Hope you can help!

Hi Martyn,sounds like your clutch plates have gummed together.This is not uncommn when a bike or car has not been used for some time.Try kicking the bike over with
the plug lead off,and the clutch lever pulled in.Alternatively bump start the bike using the de-compressor in say second gear with someone pushing and you sat on the bike,once it starts driving with the clutch in it will free off.Leave yourself room to stop or not stop,you may need to stall the motor if it doesn't free first time .good luck

Thanks Rick!

Just remembered I was told it had the clutch replaced with a wet clutch. Don't know if this changes matters.

Thanks

Hi Martyn,no prolly even more likely as those wet clutches gum up even easier,
watch a triumph twin owner start his bike,always a couple of kicks with the clutch in to free up the plates.Ian Wright has just had some superb looking stainless steel indicator plates made,sift back a few days and you will see them.
