'83 CB 550sc
Well, after changing the oil twice and taking the clutch plates out to check them within specs, and checking the springs within specs, the clutch still slipped in every gear! In a flash of brilliance, I decided to see if there was any pressure in the hydraulic clutch system when "hands off" the clutch lever. I opened the hydraulic clutch bleeder at the engine side and out squirted a small amount of hyd fluid. Immediately closed it and tried the clutch operation. NO clutch slip, proper amount of free play in the lever, works fine! Problem solved... How the pressure built up in the hydraulic clutch system, I don't know, but if I get clutch slip again, the bleeder valve is the first thing I'll try.
