I have an 1987 vfr750. I rode the bike like thursday then parked it because i live in WA state so it rains alot. I went out today to go ride it and when i took the cover off i notice it held the clutch handle down since i parked it. Then the bike started great as usual and when i went to put it into gear it just died like the clutch wasnt disingauging. A friend told me the clutch is toast and another told me to try bleeding the lines first. Well i dont kow how to do that so i was curious if somebody could tell me/ show me where i could get pictures on how to do it. the clutch handle feels like it has no pressure at all. i dont see anything leaking either. The last time i took the bike out it shifted fine so IDK. Need help, this is my first bike and dont know anything about motorcycles.
You didn't happen to notice a puddle of fluid did you? Either way the clutch as in the pressure plates and springs should be fine, you probably just got air in the system. Do a search for "Bleeding the clutch" and you'll find everything you need to know. Its time consuming but easy, you just need a pint or two of fresh fluid 3 or 4 feet of clear tubing a clear bottle and the appropriate sized wrenches (12mm & 10mm probably). Vacuum bleeders make it easier but are by no means necessary. My only bit of advice is to start at the banjo bolt at the master cylinder rather than the bleeder screw on the slave.
