1500 clutch

imported post

not sure where to start. brought home a 89 1500 wing. rebuilt and synced carbs. runs great.

oh, yeah, had to bleed clutch before test ride as lever was kinda dead. after bleeding, got stiff, but don't engage until lever is almost all the way out

test rode, clutch seems fine until you romp on it and it wants to slip.



1] can, if previous did put wrong oil, synthetic, silocone base, cause it to slip?and can too much oil cause this?

not sure if they did or if that would cause this. so i will change oil anyway.

2] bike sat up for a year. could the clutches just need oil to them?

3] is there any type of adjustment for the clutch, on the 1500?

did search, but only found 1 where rudy was talking about lever, pivot pin. not very informative.

any help, advice, greatly appreciated.

thank you,
