[QUOTE="wyowanderer, post: 1100191, member: 29566"] Been thru this exact thing om my AE a couple months ago. After a 2600 mile road trip bike started lunging violently when taking off in first and sh_26 code was rampant. I decided to bleed clutch system to see if this would help. Long story short I wasnt able to bleed system using the techniques other AE owners say work (cycling ignition, pumping slave cylinder). I ended up introducing plenty of air into the system to the point other error codes were popping up and bike wouldn't even start. I started to tackle the swing arm removal process but it got overwhelming for me. Buttoned bike back up and took it to a dealer in Colorado. Got bike back 1 month later (working) to the tune of $800...damn. Besides doing the swingarm removal to bleed the clutch they also replaced a bad shift angle sensor (that stupid little part alone was $280). I don't believe that sensor was causing my initial problems though. Either I or dealer fried the sensor during the left footpeg/shifter removal process. I hope to God I don't have to deal with that crap again for anytime soon, if ever again. The mechanic who worked on my bike recommended I absolutely don't change the fluid again, unless it needs it. He recommended I buy one of those brake fluid testers for $20 and only change it if needed. For what its worth. [/QUOTE]
