I need help on an issue. The bike was shifting hard and notchy, did the basket upgrade, measured all plates, replaced everything needing replacing, still notchy. Got it serviced and had the clutch fluid replaced, dealer says everything is normal.
The other day I opened up the clutch master reservoir and fluid was almost down to the bottom of the reservoir. Stopped by the shop today and picked up some dot4, topped it off, hope all is good. In case of any air bubble, I might need another clutch bleed.
Here is the test I performed with bike on center stand.
Start in neutral, real wheel stopped --- as expected
Pull in the clutch, put into 1st gear, rear wheel stopped --- as expected
Release the clutch lever and wheel starts spinning --- as expected
Pull in the clutch lever, rear wheel does not slow down nor stop --- not expected
Pull in the clutch lever, Hit rear brake, the wheel stops --- as expected
Should the wheel spin stop or slow down when in gear and clutch lever is pulled in? That's what I would have expected, but again some people say this clutch and transmission is different than others.
Can anyone try this and let me know what you observe? I tried even to put in my boot, but was unable to stop the rear wheel.
Thanks in advance for your help.
