Picked up a bike with known gear/clutch issues,it was described to me as sticking in gear....i thought gear shift return spring.Turns out the clutch is not disengaging,bike not running stick it gear,pull clutch but the rear is still locked ,still in gear. It gets all its gears shifting by hand,its up on my lift at present with clutch cover off,,I've bled the clutch system,checked the pushrod assembly,plates etc,clutch looks to be working fine. The clutch lever is very heavy,thought my old ducs were stiff but this takes the biscuit !
Kinda stuck at what to try next,apart from open heart surgery or investigation...not got any experience with all them cog things  :o

cheers,Col
 
Open it up, you'll probably find a half-disintegrated gear inside! 

Usually 3rd. or 4th mainshaft......

Clutch should not be overly heavy, could be something's bent as well :D
