    Is clutch dragging?

    I have a '78 GS1000 and when the bike is on the center stand I can rotate the rear wheel fairly easy while in neutral but if I hold the clutch in and put it in 1st and try to rotate the wheel it is very difficult to turn. Also, while sitting still and bike running if I pull the clutch in and drop into 1st gear the bike clunks rather loudly into gear. I recently was trying to start the bike by pushing and popping the clutch in 2nd but it was very difficult to push even with the clutch pulled in. I have adjusted the clutch but it didn't help any. Thanks for any help.

    Sounds like you need to pull your clutch and sand the glaze off the plates. And replace the clutch cover gasket while you are doing it. Lots of thread about this procedure.
    And welcome to the forum, btw.
