tdkkart and sadnubar,
Thanks for your help and suggestions.
There is not too much fluid in the master cylinder so it's a mechanical problem. In fact, it was a bit low after they bled the system.
I'm no MC mechanic but wrenched on many a car before. Couldn't afford to buy newer ones. Just old beaters and lots of busted knuckles.
I have the tools, torque wrenches, calipers and dial indicators. If not the right one, I will borrow or buy one. I just have no hydraulic clutch experience.
I suspect it's not rocket science ... it's a hydraulic/mechanical system. I just need to get a service manual, set aside a little time (maybe a lot) and tear into it.
What's the worst that can happen ..... I screw something up. It's already that!
You are both right. The mechanics should do some basic troubleshooting. If they rode it for a day, they would!
2 minutes around the block is the extent of the troubleshooting so far. I suppose if it works, it's good to go.
Yesterday I noticed that, at times, it seemed tolerable. At other times, I'd think "Am I in neutral?" and start looking for the "N" again. It's not a hot or cold thing either. Doesn't matter if I just started riding or hours later.
If this was my first bike, I'd probably quit riding by now. I'd be thinking, "I can't get ahold of this clutch thing." But it's not. and it's not my first HD hydraulic clutch so I know how they should be.
I'm really missing my cable and turnbuckle.
