Clutch/Brake fluid

[mattmcuomo@yahoo.com]

MMc just as a baseline i tried this test;
Bike with cold engine on center stand, rotate wheel by hand in neutral, put in first gear, pull in the clutch lever and"free up" the initial clutch drag.
After the initial clutch drag is overcome the wheel spins but i can feel increased drag from the clutch basket, by slowly releasing the handle the drag stays the same but increases after the first inch of the tip of the handle moves away from the handlebars and the clutch plates close the gap.
In other words the drag remains constant for the first 30% of the release and gradually increases over the remaining 70% of travel.

Sorry for harping on but i just want to help your situation, best wishes; Max

So, it sounds like you’re saying a little clutch drag could be “nature of the beast” so to say?
