we have something in the works. Will know more next week.

After 11 fun and interesting years, Rocking Robin has a new home with a nice middle age couple that is just starting thier riding adventures. I hope they have as much fun as we did.

I would start by bleeding them again. Could well have been an air pocket somewhere. But yes, if it’s been a long time since a flush and change, I would do that.

Sounds like your loosing fluid or getting air into the system, the later generally only possible after you have lost pretty much all of your fluid. Check your reservoir level, you will probably find it is down. Look for external leaks around the lines and the slave cylinder. If there are no external leaks, than there is a good chance that it is leaking past the piston and shaft in the slave cylinder, where by the brake fluid will be leaking into your crankcase. If this is the case, you will need to either replace or rebuild the clutch slave. Being as how the slave can be a bit of PITA, I would recommend replacing. Rebuilding is easy enough and kits are available but if there is the slightest imperfection in the walls of the slave, you wasted your time and money because it will soon leak again. If you want to simplify the job a bit, get your self a middle gear cover gasket and copper washer for its lower bolt. Removal of this cover gives you better access to the slave, making it easier to get back in. Make sure you drain the engine oil both from the drain plug and the lower cover bolt before removing the cover. The slave can be removed and installed without removal but if you have the wrong set of dentures in your mouth, getting it back in can be a real PITA and instead of quick success you could come up with a new vocabulary that would impress even the most vulgar trucker.
