    Currently when I pull up to the garage with the bike in 1st gear and the clutch pulled in (clutch replaced and plates less then 6,000 miles) When I start to back up I can feel the clutch grabbing like resistance wanh wanh and then it is a bugger to get into neutral. I have completely released all the tension and still have the problem.
    Any suggestions ?

    readjust and lube cable.

    that may be normal as the wet clutch with oil wants to keep holding even when clutch is pulled in. put it in neutral before backing up and while moving forward.

    when I back out of garage before starting bike with clutch pulled in you can feel the resistance of the drive train (750), I feel it less with my 550
    backing up is turning the shaft and transmission

    is this a new problem?clutch cable old? replace it , you may want to recheck your clutch work

    my 750 rolls backwards easier when oil is still warm. can we have more details on when this happens?
