So a couple months ago I bought a 1982 Suzuki Gs750t with 18,000 miles. After riding it a bit I decided to change the oil and filter, i used a k&n filter and Rotella t4 15w-40. Right after changing it I let it idle for 5 minutes and topped off the oil level and then rode around a bit, everything seemed to be working fine. This one like 10 days ago.
The yesterday I start it up to go for a ride and now the clutch won't disengage. It just lurches forward and stalls out when you try to shift from neutral to 1st or 2nd. The cable is working and adjusted, and the lever down at the clutch is moving properly. If I turn the motor off and pull in the clutch, I can push the bike forward or backwards in 1st gear but just barely, it takes a lot of effort. So it's dragging bad but not 100%, obviously the plates aren't frozen together.
What did I do wrong here? Everyone says that rotella will work but did it swell up my clutch plates or something?
