125-200cc Cause of bad clutch drag? wr125

Mike bike sat for about a month as I was busy at work. Now that I have been able to ride my clutch is dragging really bad.

I have to give it throttle when I am stopped to keep clutch from stalling engine>

Any ideas? I tried to adjust it at the lever and its all the way out and still dragging.

Thanks in adavnced

If the clutch was working OK before you parked it, I can't see anything but the oil or plates being sticking together causing the issue... Simple attempt 1 change the oil ... Next go inside the clutch and clean the plates and fibers ... You can always sling $ at it and purchase something new.

Recently I had to work on a 3rd party clutching device on my bike and tore into a clutch for the first time ... If you have any mechanical skills, the work is pretty easy...So easy, I might go inside a standard clutch on my WR250 and see if the plates are dirty or the plates have notches cut on their top tabs that might need shaving off....

There are many here who have lots more experience on the subject matter than myself, so more clues should be on the way ...

1. Cable stretching or 2. warped clutch plates is the most common causes... in that order.

first check the oil level
if problem not found
2nd check operation and adjustment of cable
if problem not found
3rd remove clutch cover and clean and check plates
if problem not found
find beer

As the aboves but beer first lol.
Had a bike do that once and although every thing looked good it was a broken friction plate, Couldnt see it upon inspection but on the second strip down I twisted the plates in my hands and low and behold one was broken, Not saying that is the problem but if the basket isnt grooved badly it maybe .
My huskys prefer ATF in the tranny/clutch and even start in gear easily compaired to the other types of oil I have tried.

I find that the first thing to go when oils due a change is my ability to select neutral.
Drain oil check plates, could of had the clutch over tensioned in the first place and streached the cable, wasnt resting on a wall with clutch in for a month?

Laying the plates on a piece of glass can help identify if a plate is warped or not ...

I ran out of adjustment on my 13 CR. I used an old aluminum cable adjuster thingey, by old I mean "70's" honda or yamaha,and slid it over the end of the clutch cable at the engine. I tried to send a picture from iPhone not sure it worked. Picture I mean. The other worked great.

Thanks guys Im gonna run it out this weekend to see if I cant loosed it up.
