Hey guys, I'm happy to report that I got the clutch to release. After it sitting all night and most of today I decided to put it in gear and rock it back and forth a little bit, then I started the bike (in neutral), let it get good and warm, shut it off put it in gear, pulled the clutch in and all was well! Thanks for all your help! Tony

What about the beer?

Mine is currently sitting with the clutch stuck as well. I remembered the trick about trying the handle back, but I haven't tried it yet. For as long as I can remember, if it sat for more than a few months it will stick.

I think warming the engine up to operating temperature also helped, the next day it was stuck again so I tied the clutch lever back again last night then today warmed the engine up and all was well. I wish I could ride it for a bit, I'm sure that would help greatly!
