If you can’t get into or out of neutral, with the rear wheel on the ground and the engine running, you might have a dragging clutch. If you can’t push the bike along the road in gear with engine stopped and clutch lever squeezed back to the handlebar, you might have a dragging clutch. Keep your blo...

Only other cause will be a hydraulic issue. My knowledge of slave cylinders and the push rod operation is pretty much nil , my thoughts were as the clutch lever on the handlebar had stuck and the clutch plates were stuck , could it be the push rod or whatever is in the slave cylinder being stuck / ...

Hoe does it behave when you ride the bike? If you can stop the rear wheel by hand, that sounds to me like the clutch is not dragging at all. Not driven it, it’s on a ramp , to stop the rear wheel you have to run it in gear pull clutch in sometimes the wheel speeds decrease to 9 mph sometimes it doe...

The problem may resolve itself.

I don’t disagree would certainly make life easier if it did

If the transmission does disengage but drags enough to prevent neutral being found it could be caused by overfilling the oil possibly combined with high idle speed. No problem finding neutral - idle speed is fixed - never ever adjusted it -new oil and filter fitted and is correct - it’s not the gea...

You can but as it’s the same stack as when it was working I ruled this out

My GPZ1100 did this and I had to replace all the plates.

This is what I was thinking or warped

Bit of background, Bike is gsxr1000 k7 (track bike) with hydraulic clutch ( there is I believe no adjustment as it self adjusts- so I believe.) Bike has been stood for quite a while (12 mths) and occasionally started and on optimise in position on stands Finally got round to thinking about servicing...

It might be ok, but I personally wouldn't put ACF-50 in a lock. It's super sticky stuff. description actually says for ignition switches, Personally I think it’s the “fluid of the gods” fixes any rust lubrication issues ( not brakes mind) Cheap easy fix to put a little on the key and put the key in...

This ^, although overnight should do it if indeed there is a small amount of air in it

I think so, usually just take the bung / bar weight out of handlebar and put this in as it’s on a taper so spreads as you tighten it, Attach it ALl together first then insert in place in the handle bar, and tighten by hand as it grips the inner handle bar you can then use a spanner / Allen key Do no...

Seems I need to get one. Never bothered before. Do trackdays check them ? Do they need to be a B.S. standard etc? Anyone recommend a comfortable one? I'm a bit of a salad dodger and leathers are a bit snug ;) Yes they will probably check as you go out via pit lane for your session, for the lever se...

Whilst it’s a bit late now and never the best idea using screwdriver , it happens , but as soon as you have a little gap try to get the screwdriver all the way through so your using he shoulder across the whole pads not just the end . Tie or cable tie the brake lever back overnight- helps to get any...
