tman427 Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Not sure about this one. Got about 15 hrs on my oil, Amsoil 10-40 Synth, went over one of my triangle sections and missed the back side so I went over the bars....bike was upside down, but still running. I shut her down flipped it over.... noticed a bunch of oil on my swing arm, which I imagine came out of my crank case vent hose. Started the bike up, ran like crap, puffed some white smoke, pinged and backfired a bit. Ran for a while and it cleaned out quite a bit but I noticed my clutch is not as smooth and seems to be dragging. Back brakes also seem weak, may have an air bubble in the line which will need bleeding. Anyhow, has anyone experienced the clutch engagement changing after an upside down maneuver? Thanks, great bike. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0007 Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 It certainly could happen Clutch master is gravity feed, when gravity is on the wrong side air could be at the pick up hole in the master that normally has fluid at it You could get a small bubble into the master/piston or into the banjo bolt I would not try to bleed it all the way through, just burp the banjo bolt and see if air comes out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
