    Jump start the bike & then get it into 3rd gear, gas it, then pull in the clutch lever, should unstick them.. My 87 250 does it all the time , cause I only ride it couple of times a year.. Works ever time on my bike...

    have you adjusted the clutch yet? in the middle of the basket?
    if everything is adjusted, the problem is those damn aluminum plates. you will have to start the bike, run along side it, pop into first and get on. after that ride around with the clutch pulled in and goose the throttle some, eventually it will pop.

    Well when I took the plates out. They were stuck together. I put them in oil. And I'm gonna put them back in after a little while. And see if my problems at fixed. Because the clutch plates are in good condition.

    I did. They aren't warped. It's because the bike sat for a while. I got the clutch back together and it now works. Onward to find a gasket. Because making my own failed. And I won't but a bad gasket in that bike. Thanks guys
