dan williams Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 OK start with basics. With the engine off lay the bike over and pull the side cover off and actuate the clutch. That will show you if the pressure plate is moving from the start of the lever travel. If it is then it's not hydraulic. Don't panic. Bad decisions are made in panic. Trust me on this. Usually the more screwed up something seems the simpler the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippy1234 Posted April 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 done that dan the presure plate/clutch pack moves out maybe 1 cm when i actuate clutch lever and it starts to move as soon as i touch lever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan williams Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Roger that! OK I'd say pull the clutch pack out again and look for contamination, debris between plates, plates assembled out of sequence (been there, done that) peeled up pads basically anything out of the ordinary. If the plate's moving 1 cm it's not the hydraulics and it should disengage properly. Spin the basket and center piece to make sure there's no eccentricity. Make sure all the nuts are still snug. Even if you find nothing's out of the ordinary there is no substitute for peace of mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
