I purchased a 1981 Interstate with under 15,000 miles on Saturday the 19th, and I've been having troubles. I tried it outbefore buying and it ran brilliantly! However, I got it home and the breaks were sticking.when moving it into the garage, the clutch needed (what I thought at the time) some adjustment, because the bike would die when I put it into first. After adjustment, the bike won't move. The engine runs wonderfully, I can feel it shifting, but nothing gets transferred to the rear wheel. I suspect that the clutch is stuck, and I've tried putting it into different gears and rocking it back and forth with both the clutch in and out andpopping the clutch while its on the center stand. Does anyone have any ideas? BTW, I've fixed the brakes by flushing the lines.
Thanks,
John
