Voltage measurement impedance on “my end” has the magnitude of megaohms - should not be a problem. The pullup worried me not for it’s existence, but for the particular word used. A bit of a layman’s term within a technical document - made me cautious about the credibility of the entire doc.

GoldOxide: was that steam bubbles forming in clutch liquid, or flex pipes softening up from the heat? Sounds rather ugly, being stranded for half an hour Sad

Yes, I'm curious about the reason you lost the clutch because of the clutch fluid overheating?
Maybe stainless braided lines could improve matters?
A good job it wasn't the brakes... Sad
Mind you, that will never be a situation that occurs here in England, UK!! Smile

This was on a CB750SC. The clutch line was not braided and I seem to recall the line going to the crankcase, which was immensely hot. I couldn't determine in-the-moment if bubbles were forming, but that would not surprise me if it did. I did not see any "steam-like" gases anywhere. The net-net was lever pressure was like "98%" lost and clutch plate action was immediate and no modulation control was possible. At the time I thought I blew the line from the heat.

I expect today's CB1100 would not have that problem, but I have not been in that situation with an air-cooled engine for quite some time either.
