good news i sprayed the pushrod and bearing with penetrating oil and it has released i know i wil have to carry out a proper repair but would it be ok to give it another good spray with oil or would spray grease be better if i can get away with this for 2 weeks it would save me a great deal of trouble what do you think thanks again for all your help

A short time of two weeks won't be harmful, unless you hear or feel something isn't right, I just wouldn't let it go for an extended time before a proper repair is made.

good news i sprayed the pushrod to help release it and the clutch now works i know this is a job to still do but i was thinking to give it another good spray with penetrating oil  [would spray grease be better] and then carry on using the bike for a couple of weeks till i can repair properly what do you think once again thanks for all your advice
