[QUOTE="Constant Mesh, post: 902235, member: 615"] With the engine off and in 1st gear verify that the bike rolls fairly easily with the clutch lever pulled back to the grip. I always do this before the first start of the day. I almost always start the engine while in 1st gear. One might wonder if you have plenty of fluid in the hydraulics? None leaking out through the slave cylinder seal? Don't know how it would act if the master cylinder seal was leaky? Spongy, I guess. If you have bubbles/voids in the hydraulics they're almost certainly down in the slave cylinder. Should be easy to evacuate them at the slave. Any bubbles beyond the slave would naturally work up and out into the master cylinder reservoir. The fluid travels over five inches in the hose during each clutch operation. It's getting a nice workout which should help any bubbles move up and out except for those in the slave cylinder. [/QUOTE]
