        How much free play in the clutch cable? I'd try tightening the clutch cable, too much, to see if it makes the clutch release. If it comes loose, ride a little then readjust the cable properly. Just my opinion.

          Can you see the clutch basket with the oil filler open?
          Pull the clutch and see what is and isn't moving.
          If the cable free play is a few mm and the lever comes back to the bar and the clutch moves......
          Try getting a long flat blade screwdriver and with the lever tied to the bar gently start prying the plates apart at different places around the basket.
          Don't go for the big twist first time, gently does it.
