As TexasKZ said, we've all been there. :)

Again, the bike has been without oil for a couple of months. Once everything fires up and starts moving (heat and so on) I'm sure the clutch will pop out of it's slumber. If not I will revive this thread again :)


Please remind yourself somehow to put oil back in it before you crank it over. I like to put blue masking tape over the ignition keyhole and on the oil cap - that way I have visual reminders from two different directions.

Fine that you fix your self made problem, we're all supposed to learn from our mistakes sometimes.

Yes Nerdy, not that someone else get the stupid idea and try to start the bike.
I would remove the fuses and disconnect the battery.
