Welcome to kdxrider.net.
Is this with the engine running or not?
Which brand parts did you use?

Did you replace the clutch cable also?
If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

Clutch basket is probably notched. How bad was it when you put the new plates in? Doesn't take much to make the plates bind.

The clutch plates i put in are ebc clutch plays and spring and I didn’t get a new cable but it’s not getting stuck up. And it when is when it’s off and in gear with the clutch pulled in it won’t roll and it stalls when it’s on.

Re: Clutch not disengaging when in gear with clutch in
With the engine off and in gear pulling the clutch in isn't going to make it easier to push, just the way these clutches are. If its stalling with the engine running then what did you torque the basket bolts too? Did you measure the EBC springs, there is lots of history of EBC springs not working on KDX clutches. If you have the original OEM ones you can try dropping them back in and see if that helps.

Just put an EBC clutch in my '02 220 . Confirmed that the EBC heavy duty springs can coil bind in that application. Used stock springs.
