    Soaking clutch discs

    Ive looked around and cant find anything definite. How long do you soak the fiber discs before installing. Ive heard anything from 30-45 mins, to overnight.

    Strange- Clutch lever goes to bar with no resistance

    This is a strange one, and I think I have the answer, but wanted to ask here- Got my vmax last year, 85 with 1,950 miles on her. Slave cyl for the clutch was leaking, well, that's to be expected, had the shop rebuild the slave. This year, the master cyl was leaking, same deal, shop rebuilt...

    Clutch fluid issue

    Anyone have an issue with clutch fluid becoming murky? Performed a clutch bleed yesterday and noticed even before opening the lid on the master that the fluid in the window was dark. Performed the bleed, using both Mityvac and traditional methods, the fluid has some sort of suspended darkness in...

    Clutch lever has no hydraulic pressure

    Hi, everybody! My 86 has 70k on it. About 10k ago, I installed a new clutch for no particular reason other than I didn't know if it had ever been done. I haven't had a problem at all. The bike has sat since last September. A month ago, I started it up and let it get warm. I went to put it...

    Clutch Slave Removal?

    Am I missing something? The manual and picture show the slave coming right out of the cover. My slave doesn't agree. I have the VooDoo exhaust and the pipes are preventing it from dropping out of the bottom. Which way does it come out?

    After doing Double D clutch upgrade will not go into neutral when running

    Just did the double D clutch upgrade. I left the half clutch in the back so I'd have some slipping not to break any parts. But it won't go into Nuetral when the bike is running. When the bike is off it goes into N without an issue. Had it apart to check 3 times now and I can't figure it out for...

    Clutch and Brake levers

    It seems the one thing left that is blocking me mounting the windshield I want is clutch and brake levers. The stock ones contact the windshield. I have seen several different clutch and brake levers offered, but I am not certain which ones out there will fit what I need. (also need them to...

    Clutch line stock length.

    I need to know the stock length for the clutch line. I want to upgrade my brake and clutch lines, and I can easily measure the brake lines, but the clutch line is routed behind a ton of stuff. Gonna have the shop I go to make up the lines, because the stock straight banjo bolts are a pain when...

    Replaced my clutch and cleaned the carbs ride... A Vmax ride.

    With the double d clutch and carbs cleaned I took it for a quick ride yesterday. With that super hard Exceddra tire on it, it spins easily from a 5 mph roll. I was able to pull the front end up high in 1st gear, but not in 2nd gear. I never clutch up my bikes, just pure power. But end result...

    Clutch assistance, maybe at Thunder 2015?

    Greetings! I don't know if I have an actual problem or not, so I'm reaching out for some assistance, perhaps during Thunder 2015. If I rest my hand on the clutch lever in the lower gears, that is about all of the pressure needed to engage it and make it slip while accelerating. I don't know...

    No clutch

    I needed to loosen a bolt on the clutch mater cylinder so I could remove the front fork spring. After tightening in back up I barely have a clutch. The bolt has a rubber boot over it and is tightened into the master cylinder. Did I get air in the system?
