HELP - Transmission/clutch not releasing - Aprilia Mojito/Habana 125 (like your 150)

[GS1]

Hi,
I've got a Mojito/Habana 125 recently in Scotland.....great bike! It's basically the same as the US 150cc. I've just hit a problem which I'm hoping will be easy to fix. The rear wheel doesn't seem to be releasing from the transmission i.e. at idle or with the engine off, the rear wheel isn't free to spin....it's still connected to the engine...if that makes sense! So, it doesn't want to move freely if I push the bike with the engine not running, so the clutch isn't releasing. I believe it could be that my clutch springs are shot? Not sure what to do! Help!
Cheers,
GS1

There's free area around the clutch springs, i.o.w. even if the springs are shot, this would not hold the clutch engaged.

Could it possibly be that your rear drum-brake segments haven't released? This gives the same feeling.

But you could very eailiy just take of the tranmission cover and turn the variator. This should turn easily (a bit friction when you hit the compression fase) if you see that the clutchbell is moving along with the variator, then the clutch is stuck.
