[QUOTE="Constant Mesh, post: 1314718, member: 615"] The clutch hydraulic line is not all hose. You see a hose at the slave cylinder and at the master cylinder but in between those two hose sections there is a length of bare tubing beneath the fuel tank adjacent to the frame. Obviously there are two hose to tubing junctions under the tank. Maybe one of those junctions has a tiny leak which dribbles some fluid every time you squeeze the lever. You've got to identify and fix the leak. You shouldn't be experiencing any liquid level change in the MC reservoir. If anything, the level would rise a tiny bit as the clutch friction plates get thinner with use. If you put the bike on the centerstand and operate the shifter with your hand you can easily see if the shift lever is moving freely and springing back to the resting center position as you slowly rotate the wheel and shift gears.
