Help please. clutch won't disengage after changing lines.

[Noxx72]

Title pretty much says it all. I changed my clutch and brake to stainless lines, and while my brakes are behaving (mostly) the clutch will not disengage.

I've bleed the SS line repeatedly and am sure there is no air present. The clutch lever has plenty of feel, perhaps a bit harder than stock (no line expansion I would assume).

Working the clutch with the bike off and stationary, I can hear the slave in motion.

Holding the clutch in, it's easier to slam through the gears, but it's never disengaging completely, i.e., I cannot push the bike in gear with the clutch held in.

I'm at my wits end and missing a beautiful day for riding. Hralp?!

FWIW, the solution to this was just to start the damn bike and get things moving around, something I hadn't done because I still haven't put in the new batt.

So I jumped it from the car and everything works tits.

Clutch plates stuck together, pretty common after sitting for awhile.

Only about 4 days, but in that time I also changed the oil, and of course the clutch lines and fluid.
