2004 YZ 125 clutch not disengaging

[diesel_dean1]

So I have a 2004 yz125, the top end is fine, bottom end is fine, transmission is fine, just the clutch, it doesn't disengage properly. I had just got it today and had noticed that when the bike is off, I'll put it in 1st gear and pull inthe clutch and the bike won't move, If I push hard enough the engine will turn over. I was riding the bike earlier today and it shifted fine. I had just got it today too and the guy had it sitting for 6 months. I read about a thread saying there was a silly little bearing but I don't know. Any help would be appreciated.

I've also adjusted the clutch lever too.

and it seems like when it does run it does grab but it will die if you don't give it a bit of rpms.

Does it do this when the engine is hot?

The bike will slowly die if I have it running with it in first gear with the clutch disengaged. Other than that the bike is smooth running and riding.

check for clutch basket notching.

 

if its not notched you can check the rest out while your in there.

Replace the tranny fluid. I like ATF in my bikes...

You still didn't answer my question.

I figured it out, the engine has to be running.

Most Yamaha clutches (and others I suspect) will drag slightly when cold. When I'm warming up an engine to go ride, I will hold the clutch lever in for 30 seconds or so, right before leaving, so that oil has found it's way through all of the clutch plates, allowing the clutch to engage more "smoothly".
