Default problem

ok today i was cleaning my RK custom and i went to move it (not running) and when i tried and pulled in the clutch it was like it wasnt engaging and wasnt moving. i havent road the bike in about 3 weeks but never had a problem before this, it wouldnt move in any gear then i started it and let it warm up for about 10-15 min and nothing changed then i tried to start it in 1st gear with the clutch engaged and it pulled the bike foward like i wasnt pulling in the clutch then went away and started and now seems to be ok. i checked the cable and everything looks and seems ok i just cant think what could of caused this to happen and do you think i might have a problem again... thanks for the help.. sorry if it seems confusing

the cold weather could be causing your clutches to stick fluid id thicker making clutches to bind to gether should be ok when it warms up
