so i just got my 81 xs650 and i started going through to make it road worthy again. My first issue will be the clutch. The handle is very hard to pull so i popped off the clutch cover and checked the actuator which appears to be fine, extends normally, smooth operation when the cover is off. So....what are the chances my clutch plates are stuck, this bike did sit a period of time and it was low on oil......if this is the issue how can i break them free with out pulling the entire thing apart?
