    I think the clutch mechanism may be partially froze. Adjustment doesn't seem to help.I was told by a good friend and fellow rider,"just ride it and it will release"? Bike graunches with a lurch and I aquire very unclean creep.
    Can anyone save me here?

    Have you checked the adjustment on the motor side? If that is OK chances are that you have frozen or dirty clutch pack. I don't know the adjustment off the top of my head but if you need it I can always get the book out and let you know.

    The book says: Using the adjuster at lower end of the cable . Set the free play to 2-3 MM (.008- .012 in) measured between the lever stock and the Blade. Subsequent adjustments can now be made at the handlebar end. When I set mine like the book says I have left a tiny bit of play at my handlebars.
