Hi, doubtless the answer is up here somewhere, but 2 hrs searching the forum on dialup proved fruitless last night.
Just finished expensive repairs to the starter clutch & also replaced the starter motor with a new one. She's been standing in the garage for 3 weeks without oil while I did the work. Filled her up with oil & went to walk her outside & being in gear, I pulled the clutch in & nothing happened.
Rocked back & forth in 1st gear & still stuck. Went to start her up to see if that freed the clutch but all I get is a fluttering noise behind the ignition switch. Guess that's the solenoid.
I take the (sealed) battery out & it measures 12.7V so trickle charged overnight & came up to a little over 14V. Also pulled the clutch grip in & tied it to the handlebars overnight.
Clutch didn't free up overnight. Replaced battery & same solenoid noise when trying to start.
I'm completely stumped. Hope someone has been in the same boat & has some ideas.
Thanks.
