Good news, by the way and just for info, your Clutch wasn't Dis-Engaging. Clutch is Engaged whenever the lever is not pulled in.

Ah good to know. Thanks for the info!

No. But you may need tot try higher gears to help break the stiction. Remember keep the clutch pulled in while pushing the bike forwards or backwards.

See how you go.

It worked! Thank you so much!

You may have a bit of clutch plate stiction from the lack of use over time.

Sit on your bike in gear and clutch pulled in, rock the bike forwards and backwards, see if that breaks the stiction.

You may also have air in the system, perhaps a good system bleed might help.

Should the bike be running?

When was the last time you rode it? 

Probably 2 or 3 months ago. 

hey everyone!

I was pulling my interceptor out to wash and ride it and when I tried to shift into first gear it would lurch forward and die, like the clutch wasn’t engaged. 
 

I’m not very mechanically inclined, but I’m hoping with some advice from these forums I can figure it out! 
 

thanks!
