[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 994194, member: 277"] I did say to (carefully) open the bleeder ;) Glad you found the issue, hopefully you have also taken care of the root cause. Some things that could have caused your problem are: excessive fill (less likely); internal damage to the clutch hydraulic line causing a flap of damaged rubber to work as a one-way valve (much less likely); trapped air that expands when hot (likely). The advice about the bronze bushing in the clutch lever pivot is always good even if it isn't related to your slipping clutch. That is one of the much neglected areas that really needs regular service along with the shifter pivot and brake pivot. [/QUOTE]
