Hi everybody, got a problem with my clutch

, it worked spot on when i last used my bike which would of been February,its been sitting in my garage since then unfortunately from not having time to use it but got it out last weekend to kick it in and run it down my alley which is about 100 yards and the clutch just doesn't work at all,could it be because its been sitting in a garage for months or is it done in,thanks

Had similar event, did you check the oil? Add a little warm up bike and try again.

If you think that the clutch plates are stuck together. Not all that uncommon and not a cable problem. Then you can drain the oil & use 1 qt. ATF in the trans. Let it soak a day or two then run the bike while working the clutch lever. That ATF will clean and free up the stuck plates.
Hope that helps.
