- Bike engine running.

- Bike in gear.

- Clutch held in.

- Increase in throttle.

And the bike still moves forward?

Check your clutch cable adjustment (fully detailed in your owners manual). It should not engage until you let the lever quite a way out...

If you are doing the above, but NOT holding the clutch lever, then that is how a geared bike actually works!! :D

If you mean all the above, but the bike is switched OFF - That *can* be normal. I've done this with some lightweight bikes in order to push-start them. You do need to put a fair bit of effort in to move it, though and it's not something I'd advise doing very often...

It is easier on a small cc, single cylinder bike.

That said, I would recommend putting petrol in it and riding it; It is much more fun.

How much 'restricted movement'?

A few inches, a couple of feet, or can you push it halfway down the road?

How does it perform when the bike *is* started and you put it in gear with the clutch held in... or mostly in?

Does it still creep forward?
