Hi all Next issue after bringing the old girl back to life Before she was laid up for quite some time the clutch would slip a little under full throttle and there wasn’t much fluid in the reservoir (dropped over v long time) Before bringing her back to life I replaced the clutch and bled it as well. Now I’m finding the clutch lever is slow to return although the clutch seems to work fine apart from that. Have to say I’m not sure if the problem existed before this. Is it more likely to be on the hydraulic side or the clutch basket side? Any ideas Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
If the fluid level dropped then my guess is the slave cylinder is on its way out and maybe the bore/piston is corroded. Easy enough disassemble for a look, seals are easy to swap, depends on the condition of the metal parts as to whether you need to go any further than that. Another thing to check is the long clutch pushrod through the motor, you can pull that right out from the slave side and clean/polish/lube it, may improve the action. I assume you cleaned and lubed the lever when you were doing the other work?
So on the hydraulic side then, think I might bite the bullet and overhaul the master as well. Many thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
