For about a year I have been battling a clutch problem. My issue is that I would loose the clutch after a few hours of riding or if I got in heavy traffic. An adjustment of the clutch would bring it back to life, temporarily. I had no leaking fluid, the master cylinder wasn't going dry, the clutch discs look great (not worn). One attempt at fixing this was to add a stronger pressure plate, that didn't help. I rebuilt the clutch slave cylinder on the trans, that didn't help. I gave in and switched to a cable system. While it works my aging hands aren't liking the cable plus it doesn't look as good as the hydraulic setup.... So researching the internet I found the recall on the clutch masters for the 14 and up bikes. This however is not the problem I'm having with my 13. I'd like to go back to hydraulic... I'm not certain what part or parts to replace. Sitting here thinking of the work I did to keep the bike moving and I think something was causing the slave cylinder to push the rod thus releasing the pressure on the discs. I say this as I'd have to release the pressure in/on the line in order to be able to adjust the clutch.I could replace the master and slave which I'm not against. This method won't tell me what the issue was/is though. So any thoughts?
