Get the engine well hot and tie the clutch lever up overnight....

put the bike on the stand & start the engine & select 2nd gear then hold the clutch lever in & stab the rear brake intermittently until it is free. if that wont free it up its only a 10 minute job to remove the plates anyway

Screwdriver thru' the oil filler cap HOLE.

Or, handful of bolts and the clutch casing is off - then its easy-peasy, lemon squeezy :wink:

Undo the large casing on the r/h side of engine.... the clutch basket & plates will be seen & accessible.
