I have a 2003 Sportster 1200, put in the garage working about a week ago. Took it out yesterday and cannot get the gears to disengage when I pull the clutch. I can shift the gears but I cannot pull the clutch and roll the bike forward. I'm new to motorcycle maintenance/problem solving gig so any help would be appreciated.

 

Put the transmission into neutral if you need to push it around, also start it in neutral.
Leaving it in gear will make it difficult to push (and start), because even though the clutch lever is pulled back, there is some drag between the clutch plates and disks because the oil is cold and thick.

 

Sounds like the clutch needs adjusting. Get the book for it and it will walk you thru the procedure. If you haven't yet you check the fluids and see if they need changing.

 

I'm hoping to work on it tomorrow... Thank you for the suggestions

 

I changed the primary oil; it was low. Worked clutch some and works perfectly. I'm new to owning and caring for a HD...looks like I need to learn a few things! Thanks for the help!
