1098 Clutch Help Needed

  1. Hi Folks,

    I have an EVR slipper clutch that’s done <2k miles.

    After a 100 mile ish ride last week, the ‘bite point’ was a long way out and I got wrist ache on the way home.

    Adjusted the span on the lever and could feel the bite point much closer. Too close in fact. Rode it today for first time and it’s a pig - bite almost at the lever. However, I’m not sure the lever is the issue.

    It’ll drop into 1st OK, but doesn’t like shifting up without a fair bit of force and you cannot find neutral easily/at all when the engine is running. With engine off, I’ve had the neutral light on and it’s been in 1st gear.

    I had this before and my mechanic gave it a bleed and all was well…..so….I’ve bled everything properly (a mate with more ahem mechanical sympathy checked and confirmed AOK). And it’s pretty much the same.

    We had the slave off and cleaned it up. Fair bit of friction material but nothing shocking - fluid was greyish before bleed.

    I did think maybe the clutch springs need adjusting but am a bit of a luddite. Before I pay someone to diagnose/fix, does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks
    BJB
