I installed key earlier today and my clutch has been totally fine up until now... After the install I noticed if it's in gear but not running and I hold the clutch in to move it somewhere, it acts like I don't have the clutch pulled in! This is weird. But when I test rode it everything was fine. Could my key snapped alonce I turned it off or right as I pulled up to my house, would that mess my clutch up in any way? I wouldn't think it would effect it but I could be wrong? When I test drove it after install and I put it in first then let out slowly everything was normal/even during the ride. Maybe I just need to adjust my cable? Any help would be appreciated
 
**bump** I tried adjusting the cable and that did not help. I'm stumped! Maybe this will help someone diagnose my problem better--- this has always happened to me, while I'm warming up my blasty before a ride, if I try to take off to soon before it's fully warmed up as soon as I shift down into first my blasty jerks forward a little bit and cuts out. I'll then immediately start it back up(in neutral) I'll kinda rev it a little bit then shift down into 1st again and it will be fine. Has my clutch been bad this entire time? It seems fine to me & I've never felt it slip or jump out of gear or anything odd like that. I'm not sure but I thought this might help you guys out in trying to help me lol
 
Okay I'll check it out, I didnt mess with it at all in any way but maybe it just got messed up on it's own. I didnt move the arm either while I was in that area working on my flywheel. Thanks for the tip!
 
the bike stalling when you kick it into 1st is becasue the clutch plates stick together because of the oil.do a trans oil change.

Okay I will try that out! I changed it about 10 months ago... But it always did that, it don't happen every time just periodically. I need to change it anyways. I used motorcycle gearbox fluid last time(if I remember correctly lol) it was good name brand stuff. What brand/type do you suggest?
 
Oh and come to find out it does role while in gear with the clutch engaged, it's just tougher to push, if I push it lightly it seems like it catches in gear and the wheels just sorta lock up, but if I hold clutch in and give it a kinda hard push it will freely role but it's harder then if it's in neutral. That's normal though right? I've had other bikes/atv's that were like that too so I'm not sweating it :)
