Clutch won’t disengage after start

How to adjust the clutch at the sprocket cover end
Now,
Screw in the cable adjuster in full at the lever end.Remove the rubber bung on the sprocket cover
Loosen the lock nut with a deep good quality ring spanner or a 6 sided socket( it will loosen with a crack and frighten the crap out of you)
Turn the lock nut anti clockwise a full turn
Hold you fingers lightly on the clutch lever
Turn the centre screw clockwise with a good fitting flat screwdriver
You will feel the lever moving out
Keep turning the screw until the lever is about 5 to 6mm from the lever housing.
Tighten the locknut.
Replace the rubber bung
Take the final adjustments at the cable adjuster
If you cannot get less than 10mm at the lever or the adjuster screw tightens replace the cable

I don’t think it’s been changed recently (the bike came with loads of paperwork) but I’ll give that a go. But why would it not disengage and then be fine?? Cheers.
