Why does my bike stall when put into 1st gear?
So I recently replaced my clutch plates and fibres and finally had a chance to ride the bike.

The clutch has been bled properly with 0 bubbles.
Can you roll a bike in gear with the engine off?
Nope. Can’t roll it in gear with the engine off. It’s a wet clutch system. Always had to warm the bike up thoroughly to be able to push it when shut off. Basket was already checked for grooves and wear and is fine.
What do I do if my motorcycle clutch will not disengage?
Yes, your motorcycle will change gears at correct engine RPM and speed combination even without clutch. Around at 10mph, hit the engine kill switch. Make sure you slow down. As you do so, the gear will eventually cause a rear wheel lock. You will drift for those moments.
