    Late clutch bite

    Hi all put a new clutch in the max, now the clutch bites very late, going to replace the fluid as it's very old, the clutch doesn't seem to be slipping, do you think old fluid/air could cause this?

    Clutch issues

    Im having a problem with my clutch. When the bike gets warm and I'm at a intersection in gear, the bike wants to creep forward. If im in neutral and shift into first, sometimes it will kill the motor. I flushed the clutch fluid and it helped a little but it's still doing it. The bike has 21,000...

    More clutch issues..

    Clutch slave rebuild?

    Hoping someone has a good "how to" article or even better a video on rebuilding the clutch slave. Bike is an 85. Ordered the rebuild kit today so it will be a week or better before I attempt this.. I've never done this before so the more simple instructions the better.
