Before pulling the clutch cover I would try putting the bike on the center stand, starting the engine and running up through the gears, then in top gear at about 2K rpm pull the clutch all the way in and swap on the rear brake. If the plates are stuck that should unstick them. I'm not sure why you

Crack the banjo fitting at the clutch master (with rag ready) slowly depress lever. I just did a master on a cb750 (brake master but same operation) no pressure no fluid because the small little take up port was clogged with gunk. Sent from my iPhone > On May 17, 2014, at 2:13 PM, Matthew Ward

If you think about it, if the plates are frozen, and the line is completely bled, the lever would be next to impossible to squeeze. If it's still moving easily I'd bleed and flush it some more. -Kyle On May 17, 2014 12:31 PM, "Matthew Ward" wrote: > I had thought about pulling the clutch cover o

You just have to keep bleeding it.That is the hardest system in the world to bleed completely. There is a chance the clutch plates may be frozen but honestly I'd keep trying to bleed and flush the lines for a while. -Kyle On May 17, 2014 12:20 PM, "Matthew Ward" wrote: > So I installed the seal
