[QUOTE="ELP_JC, post: 267491, member: 6177"] Hey folks, I wouldn't let techs mess with the clutch plates; plates 'sticking' is crap IMO. How the hell are they going to stick together? Come on. And without a leak, the slave cylinder doesn't make any sense: fluid either pushes the rod out, disengaging the clutch, or fluid leaks out of it. What it sounds like is one of 2 things, in order of probability: 1. You have air in the system, not letting the clutch disengage. And on these stupid bikes, where the clutch engages almost by the grip, ANY air would cause that. 2. INTERNAL MASTER CYLINDER LEAK, which would also fail to disengage the clutch and not have external leaks. Even if you're a mediocre mechanic, I'd first bleed your clutch real well first; that might solve your problem. If not, check for leaks EVERYWHERE around clutch components, to eliminate a leaky slave. If no leaks, it'll be a bad master cylinder, not slave. A bad slave will ALWAYS leak, since fluid has no other place to go; as simple as that. Hope this helps. JC [/QUOTE]
