Clutch Question 6 Months, 1 Week ago  
I just took my R* out of the garage for the first time this summer. I only took it out to the front yard to take a couple pictures. This is also the first time it has moved since I did the first oil change and switched to Mobil 1. When I went to manuver it around in the garage to line it up to ride up onto my lift I noticed I could not pull it backwards. In fact if I didn't hold on with some pressure on the ground it would roll forward slowly like the clutch lever was partially out. My question: Is this normal since it has been sitting since last fall and could it have anything to do with the oil?

Thanks,

Silverado

The plates gets stuck together when it sits. Start it and work the lever a dozen times or so. That should help. It will get better after that if you take it for a ride.

Thanks Musky.

Thought that was probably the case but wanted an expert opinion before I broke something.
