Bought and drove home86Aspencade with about 50K on ittonight.20 mi ride home. Stopped for gas. At least a 1/2 dozen stops from the station to home.All was fine.
10 minutes later I went to leave for a ride.After starting andputting into first, I started to creap forward. Back to neutral and then to first,clutch in, but this time I lurched forward. I braked and stalled. Then I had no clutch at all.
The handle bar clutch resivour was low. It was sucking air when squeezing the clutch handle. I topped off with DOT4 and sealed it back up. I can pump it all I want, but it does not build up any preasure. You'd think if it just had air in the line, it would still pump up.
Anyway, I see the slave on the back side of the transmission case.I will try to bleed the line off tomorrow.
If that does not work, can anyone tell me if that slave comes off without dropping the engine? There doesn't seem to be much clearance between the slave and the center stand. The slave must push a shaft, perhaps there is enough clearance to clear the rod?
What usually goes wrong with these hydraulic clutch system? Master cylinder? Slave? Just thought I'd ask before I bought a manual.
Speaking of manuals, are there any posted on-line?
Thanks in advance for pointing a newbie in the right direction.
