I removed and re-attached the bottom end of the cable on it the way I did dozens of times before (while lubing the cable), gonna go to the garage and double check to make sure, thanks for the idea!
Yup, I put the bike in gear, squeezed the clutch fully, and I couldn't rotate the back wheel by hand, it felt as if the clutch wasn't actuated at all.It should work the way it did before but easier... It isn't slipping, it isn't disengaging.
You didn't pull the little "arm/lever" at the engine did you?
Ssss, damn, I had it set almost completely screwed in. My thinking was, since the cable will stretch while it breaks in and then due to wear later down the road I better set it tight in the midsection (but with the correct freeplay at the clutch lever).
Gonna take everything apart in the morning (kept the mid section retainer so I can't just pull the cable out, duh!), readjust and see what happens.
Sry, didn't see this, gonna go and check (bike parked ~300 yards away in a public garage)ANY MOVEMENT of the clutch inside the right side clutch cover???

Yes, and the oil has less than 400 miles on it, Motul 7100 10W40 so the plates shouldn't be sticking.That's working correctly, thanks...
In neutral, does the rear wheel spin by hand?
Quite the opposite, don't own a car, ride year roundWith your video and what you posted, it should be working correctly... has the bike been sitting a long time?
Both sprockets and the chain replaced 2 months ago at the Yamaha dealer shop.I was going to have you check your engine sprocket nut, to see if it's there. (Might not be a bad idea-that nut has come loose on occasion).
No issues, had it for ~7000 kilometres (4+ k miles)I think I would recheck the entire installation and adjust the cable (mid section as well) first. Something is not right...
No other issues/fixes, etc, prior to just this cable replacement(not counting the oil change) correct?
If the front sprocket nut is tight, the cable correct (as it appears to be), it would seem the clutch is NOT releasing, some plates are indeed sticking.
Put the bike in say 2nd gear (engine OFF) and rock it back and forth with the clutch lever pulled in. See if you can get it to slip as it's apparently frozen and not releasing fully (with the only things you've done, gear box un-damaged, sprocket nut tight, etc)...
Yes, the engine runs no problem, I don't feel like there is enough drag to move the bike, I'm hoping it's the mid section adjustment. And I will check the front sprocket nut - and WILL be pissed if they screwed it up because the main reason I went to the licenced dealership to replace the sprockets is I read here that nut can be tricky.Will the engine run, in gear, with the clutch pulled in? (W/O noticeable drag)
