Y2k 750y clutch issue
Hi folks, long time no see. Hope you are all well.Finally trying to get this 750 on the road and been hit with a few issues.
It has not run for about a year or so until the other day, after fitting new battery, runs fine in neutral.Oil was horrible so changed it.
I had it running and in first gear down the road and back before the old alarm issue killed it (since removed and runs fine as above) some time back so I know 1st has engaged in the pastSo, new oil and went to put into 1st and it jerked forward and stalled. I've adjusted clutch at lever, fully out and also took side off to adjust at sprocket cover. It can go so heavy that I can barely pull the lever so I reckon the cable is ok. I've loosened it back off a bit. Tried the locknut screw on the sprocket cover behind the rubber as per the haynes manual and it has made no difference.What I can gather from a google search is that the clutch plates may be stuck together and therefore will require stripping and cleaning. Sometimes this can be due to oil change and type of oil used apparently.
Before I do any more invasive stuff, has anyone encountered this previously?
Worst case scenario, I'll remove it all and do it the way the haynes says but I'm hoping one of you more learned folks may have experienced something like this before. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated
