dante18 Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 It seems that the clutch is taking a little longer to engage when I let it out. Is there a way to adjust it? I put on helibars a while back and a little fluid came out when I loosened the banjo bolt but the clutch does not really feel like it is mushy or air is in the line. My bike is the '02. Thanks for any info... steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northman Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 No adjustment, the clutch is hydraulic. Bleed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willxx23 Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 No adjustment, the clutch is hydraulic.Bleed it. Ditto what he said I just bought the Mightyvac and it worked like a champ on the bleeding process. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante18 Posted June 24, 2004 Author Share Posted June 24, 2004 When you got the Mightyvac, are the directions pretty easy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willxx23 Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 When you got the Mightyvac, are the directions pretty easy? Yes they were very easy I'm not much of a mechanic but was able to master it, basically it attaches to the bleeder screw via clear tube with a catch bottle for the old fluid in between the vac and the bleed screw, I pumped up the mighty vac to as high of vacum as it would go pump the clutch handle a couple of times then open the bleed screw to start the fluid flow, I repeated that process until no air came through the bleeder and the clutch pull became noticably better, just make sure during this process you don't run the clutch resevoir dry or than your gonna have to start all over again. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante18 Posted June 24, 2004 Author Share Posted June 24, 2004 Sounds good...I will give it a try today. Thanks for the help! steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante18 Posted June 24, 2004 Author Share Posted June 24, 2004 Thanks for the info...just finished. After I figured out how and where to connect the tubes, the job took probably 15 minutes...super easy! Thanks again. steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffbsXX Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 My clutch is letting the wheel spin when in gear but fully pulled. Is that a symptom of needing to be bled or of time to replace the clutch? TIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodge7d Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 That sounds like normal clutch drag to me. The thicker the oil, the more likely this would happen. Hows the clutch when you ride the bike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffbsXX Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 No problems. Just saw it Saturday and wanted to make sure it wasn't indicating time for maintenance. Using Mobil 1 Syn Silver cap 10-40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
