wait wait... he is saying that it is idling in first gear with the clutch out and the rear wheel is not turning, and is locked instead.

that sounds to me like something more serious. If the plates were stuck the rear wheel would be turning whether or not the clutch lever was pulled.

usually when i get a stuck clutch i pull the clutch, rev it up, and slam it into gear. The clutch usually breaks free after doing a pretty solid wheelie. Just had to do it a couple weeks ago with a 600cc KTM... that one put some hair on my nuts.
