Help - Issues with Clutch going soft

RD16RR · Jun 22, 2021

i can recall the days (mid to late 90's, in to the 2000's) when aftermarket slaves did not help - from what i remember nothing stuck out as the "thing to do" being the final solution, so i just never bothered with anything, other than the bleed process, using all my technical mechanical skills in the process

There is no universal solution because there is more than 1 place in the hydraulic circuit that can potentially leak. But to me the slave cylinder feels most likely first failure point due to its exposure to the engine heat.

Any input would be great. I was out on the track yesterday and about mid day (4th session) 5 laps in my clutch went super soft going down the straight. This is the second time this has happened, but not second consecutive time. Spent all day Friday on the track no issues, it was raining so not pushing as hard. Both times this has happened it's after multiple sessions and when it's been relatively hot out and I was pushing the bike hard. Bike is a 2019 V4 S

I had the same issue with my 18 Panigale V4S. Like many have said just bring an 11mm wrench and bleed it from the clutch . It only takes a few seconds . I would just have brake fluid with you and keep it topped off full so when you bleed it you can ride all day with no issues . I know there was supposed to be a recall /update for mine . It was done and got better but still I had to keep bleeding it just not as frequently. Good luck !

Update I have risen the bike for about 1000 miles and the clutch is still good fren tubo line with an Oberón slave using motul 660
