Default 1999 Suzuki GSXR600

Hello All,


i have recently purchased i 1999 gsxr600 and am having a few problems. the bike passed road worthy however when i got the bike home first couple of days was fun no issues just fun. three days ago i went to start the bike and the clutch does not engage (bike does not fully start) e.g start in first gear and jumps forward a bit, or i cannot just sit on bike and cycle through the gears. i gave up cause i had to go to work then i woke up the next morning and the bike did not have a problem at all. my battery died this morning so i purchased a brand new battery went home put it in no dramas and go to start the bike and the clutch problem occurs again. i am a bike newbie and dont have the owners manual. could some one give me some advice r tell me a few things to check on pls .. . . . .
p.s is the clutch fluid situated on the left of bike under fairing cause i want to check the clutch fluid but am unsure where its at ??
