Clutch not engaging
05/11/23 4:46 PM

Help. I swapped out front sprocket. Found out I needed to bleed the clutch slave cylinder. Did that no more air. The clutch seems to not have any resistance when squeezing lever bike cranks in neutral and as soon as I shift it kills it. I’m lost.

Sounds like you still got air in your line, or maybe your slave cylinder is faulty. If it was working prior to the bleed, then most likely just air.

That is if I understand the issue, which I think is actually the clutch not disengaging, not engaging would mean like 100% slippage.

I personally recommend a vacuum bleeder, simplifies the entire process and no pump purge pump purge bs.

I used the vacuum bleeder to the point of no bubbles at all but on the stand you can shift into gear but clutch will not work. On the ground when shifting into first bike just dies. Any recommendations

Bleed again.

Starting at the master and then the slave.

See if the piston hangs up. I'd remove the sprocket cover again, pull the lever and see if the piston moves out. You just want to see it move just a little as you move the lever in just a little. Don't let the piston pop out or it's going to be a pain trying to put it back in.

Start with the master's nipple fitting. Air gets hung up at the master, not necessarily at the lines near the caliper.

Titty tools are for amateurs. It's pump the lever till you get arm pump.

Wore out several Titty vac tools before switching to air powered.

This is the bomb, I use it on bikes, autos, etc. Best $28 bucks spent.
