I consulted the forums as best I could. How do you search "1985 K100 clutch stuck in gear/adjustment"? I did pull up some results. The most promising was that when the bike sits moisture gets to the clutch plates and rusts them together. The least promising was that one guy pulled his transmission and the plates where put in wrong. He had to pull the tranny to correct it. Had my PO pulled the transmission? Would I have to pull it and rebuild it? The easy fix, put it in gear and rock the bike, which I tried, it didn't work. The next thing was to start the bike and shift, slowing the wheel with the brake.
I pulled the bike out this morning and got it started with the hot shot and started shifting gears and slowing with the brake. Finally, after about 10 minutes on a down shift there was a clunk. I had a little trouble getting the bike into neutral but it seemed to be out of gear when neutral was indicated. I had an errand to run, I shut things down and took off on my errand.
I'm now back home and am going to try all the gears while running and then possibly RIDE!
