Well, having more issues and wanted to spell out what's happening to get input here from some of you. So, I had this random issue come up end of January as I said. I ended up taking it the one real dealer here the end of February and they checked the clutch and vacuumed (said they did) the system, not just bled it, while I waited several hours. Bike did great.
Last Tuesday, May 7, I was running errands at peak traffic time here on the busiest road... lots of stop and start, miles of 50-100 yards and a light. After a few miles, noticed clutch lever is floppy at the top half of the pull, and not tight as before. After another few lights, I have lever pulled in and bike still wanting to go forward, had to say "screw traffic and lights" and run through traffic and lights to get onto open road... ran lights and around lines of cars for few miles and built up pressure. Took to dealer and of course it's fine by the time I get there. Left the bike as they made it sound like they would get to it tomorrow. After a week and $$$$$ of Uber, I said I gotta have it back. They were going to vacuum the system again(or the first time, who knows?) Said they couldnt duplicate my problem.
So, picked up yesterday. Rode fine. Decided to do that original errand again today... and literally took same route and SAME thing happened at same locations and same red lights... lost lever then lost clutch and ran traffic and got on open side roads. Took back to dealer to see if it would duplicate but had full clutch by the time I got back. So, they are saying either master or slave cylinder and no way to know till getting in there.. if master... $350 for parts and probably $350 labor, and if slave, probably $150 parts and $500 labor.
Right now, no way I can have that done and doing it myself isn't an option. Any thoughts what exactly it might be? I was supposed to ride it to West Palm on Saturday for an interview but I'm not risking it.
Thanks
