74 R90/6 Project

shake-out run

Today was the first time I rode the R90 and I have more work to do. The clutch is stuck. Start it up, put it in gear with the clutch in and it stalls. This reminds me of my old Triumph where, before starting I had to pull in the clutch and kick it over until the clutch broke loose but I never had a problem like this with a BMW (or anything else with a dry clutch). I was able to roll down a hill and get it going hoping that riding it would free it up. Nope. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

Thanks for the advice about relocating the DYNA and how to mount new bags on old mounts.

Oak had a procedure for un-stooking a BMW clutch. Maybe someone here can link to it.....

It happens to me when the bike sits for awhile. Get going in 1st gear (I put it in gear going down a hill). Pull in the clutch handle and hit the gas a few times until it breaks free.

Try

Not to be nasty or a jerk but recheck your work done. If you had the clutch out and apart, it should not be sticking at all. Even the best of us make mistakes at times. Unless you are working on bikes all the time, the event of a mistake goes up. I won't tell you the number of times I have done work on my bike or another and had to go back and redo something. St.
