i have a 2003 yamaha TTR 125, ihaven'tt rode it in about a month. i went to move it the other day and it wouldn't roll with the clutch in. i pulled it apart and learned that the clutch plates are sticking together making enough friction to keep it from moving. when i pull the clutch in the pressure plate releases but all the plates are stuck together. how do i keep them from sticking.
i cant roll it. it gets so stuck the bike wont even roll
they are so sticky that they lock up with out the clutch springs even
 
That's normal for most motorcycles with a multi-plate clutch. When you release the clutch, the oil is squeezed out from between the plates, and they will stick. It is easy enough to fix by rolling the bike.

Be sure you are using motorcycle oil and not automotive oil, as the oil has to lubricate the clutch and transmission as well as the engine.
