sticky clutch

[hmmmnz]

i have a hydrolic clutch, and its sticking,
i replace the push rod oil seal not long ago, but was fine for a few weeks,
it seem to get better as the bike warms up,
the clutch also slips when its cold wether this is do with the sticky clutch or not i have no idea,

i have a set of plate and heavy duty springs sitting in my little workshop cubard...
time to change them over??

Hi

Might be worth rebuilding the slave cylinder. Also check the push rod is straight.

Is it doing anything else odd?

All the best

nah thats it, it just seems to be sticking. and the lever isn't want to come all the way back untill its warmed up,
but it can prove to be a bit embarrassing/dangerous when i let out the clutch and nothing happens, and have to pump the lever untill it decides to release,
bastard bike

oh and the stupid rear brake isnt working,
ive replaced the master and the caliper, but it doesn't have and air in the line and doesnt seem to be leaking any fluid.
quite miffed about that ,
looks like ill have o try replacing the line, although thats a swing arm off job me and my bright ideas, running the hose inside my single sider

Hi

Clutch hydraulics don't get that much heat, so wouldn't expect heat to have that much effect on them.

Check the push rod for bends / marks. Also if you have a manual then check for anything else that might be missing (eg, some bikes seem to have a ball bearing on the end of the push rod).

Always worth bleeding the clutch / rebuilding the slave cylinder as few people bother.

All the best

i bled the clutch when i did the push rod oil seal a few weeks ago,
the slave looked to be in good condition, so i didnt bother, i just gave it a clean,
the push rod appears to be straight, a little bit of wear, but no nicks,
no ball bearing on this one,there is a cap instead,(although i have been caught out on the cb250g5 with that little ball bearing )

Hi

Wish I could shift the slave cylinder on the Bandit. It won't shift and I suspect to get it to shift might result in damaging it or the sprocket cover so I am leaving it until necessary.

All the best
