Igot ready to take my bike for a ride the other day, and when I went to put the bike into gear the bike lunged and stalled the clutch did not disengage. I tried it again with the same result. so I started the bike in gear and drove it around the block hoping the clutch would free up no luck.So ibleed the slave cylinder (it was working properly pushing brake fluid out each time I depressed the clutch lever) So I took the clutch apart and cleaned all the clutch plates, reassembled and put fresh synthetic motorcylce oil in it.Started the bike and to my displeasure when I put the bike in gear it it stalled again, the clutch did not diengage the plates for some reason, I only have 4500 miles on the bike and have taken excellent care of it. So you can understand why im puzzled by this. Has anybody out there ever come across a problem with there clutch? If so please e-mail me at jduell@prattindustries.com I would really apprisheate it Thanks
