Very similar to starting an engine with a manual transmission. (If the starter is bad or the battery is dead) Or freeing a stuck engine with a manual transmission. Very informative! Thanks for sharing, Chad! Great to see Olive so active again! 🙂
Olive definitely was having a good day! We're glad she's being so active. Granted - afterwards she was able to just relax in the house and sleep for quite a while. :)

Same here mine is a 2024 with 25 miles on it. Sat for a few months freezes up all the time. Not happy at all brand pos new bike. Never happened with my Harleys that sat for 6-12 months.
That happens because you have burned your cluch. You need to change clutch disk (only disk nothing more) and you don't have that problem anymore. If you don't burn it again. If you get smoke out from your clutch it will be stuck again regularly.
I've never had it happen with any other motorcycle. I think it's really just a sitting around thing. There are probably stretches of multiple months where I don't even start and move the bike. With previous bikes, I rode them more often. I'm also curious if it has to do with HOW the bike sits. Previous bikes I've had have always had a center stand, holding it straight upright. I'm wondering if since this bike only has a kickstand and is always leaning one way, maybe that has something to do with it. Thanks for watching!
Rather than ruining the grass which seems to make the wife rather unhappy, one can lift the motorcycle on the stand so that the rear wheel can turn freely, and do the same.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
Glad I could help!
My 81 yammy sr500 does the same thing it sits most of the time breaks free with a couple rocks back and forth in gear
Thanks!
Busy watching this because my XT500 is doing the same however I rode the bike yesterday in the bush and possibly messed up the clutch
My Xt250 has 42 miles on it. Sat all winter. Anyway I revved it high & it worked!

I thought my ole lady was bad, damn brother feel bad for you.
They are all the same! 😆
That’s exactly what mine is doing

That's an interesting thought. I wouldn't think the clutch would be burnt at under 1000 miles. But I suppose with trail riding- it could be possible.
That's interesting Chad. In nearly thirty years of riding I've never had that happen. Maybe it's just a dirt bike thing?

Ride on the road to do that🤪 Tearing up grass solved momma bear 😊

Interesting idea. I wasn't sure that it would work without the ground force pushing the tire/wheel/drive system.
My 2024 POS does it with 25 miles on it.
So every time you wanna ride you have to do that. Not acceptable.
Mine has been fine all summer now.

Thanks for watching!
get a new clutch for it
It only has 900 miles. That clutch should last for thousands of miles.
