Clutch issue

Kevin1199 · Aug 28, 2014

Have a '12 1199 base, the clutch has started acting up, at times when u pull the lever it almost feels like it bound up. The clutch still works fine but feels like the rod is getting bound. It isn't seems to happen when the bike is hot and it intermittent. Anyone else have these issues?

Have you bled the system????

Kevin1199 · Aug 28, 2014

Yup bled it when it first acted up

How many miles on the bike??

Kevin1199 · Aug 28, 2014

Roughly 10,000

It sounds a lot like the clutch issue that was reported by some people early on, when the 1199 was first released.

Wasn't that because of a sticking slave cylinder?

That kinda what I thought, I bled the clutch and took the shaft out, cleaned it and took a Brillo pad to it to clean it off, put some lube on it and it worked fine, bike got warm and the problem is back. Today I took off the clutch cover and the clutch seems perfect some maybe it is the slave cylinder. What slave cinder did people replace theirs with?

I use a very high corn polishing agent like METAREX for cleaning the pushrod and slave cylinder parts.
