Clutch?
« on: April 23, 2023, 08:48:53 PM »
‘76 CB 750F I just got it running and when I let the clutch out it jerks forward and stalls out. Is the clutch out of adjustment or is the clutch bad? It was my buddies bike, he passed away and I inherited it. Any tips would be helpful.

 The clutch is likely dried out, warm it up a couple times and the oil may distribute to the clutch discs. You can also tie the clutch lever back for a while, that might help the discs separate.
