[QUOTE="infrared, post: 1443808, member: 68615"] Definitely, bleed the clutch, completely. You want all of the old fluid out of there, and only clean fluid coming from the bleeder. Speedbleeders.com can make it an easy, one-guy job, and they will know what you need. Your hand levers should have adjustments on them. Are they set correctly? Also, there is a brass bushing in the clutch lever (NOT the lever pivot) which gets worn. It pushes the brake rod into the master cylinder. You may need a new one (~US$ 10). You [I]may[/I] need to soak the clutch plates in oil, but do the easy stuff first. Keep us posted. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Brass Bushing2.jpg"]1165[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
