I noticed a problem when my clutch had almost no let out. This was rather sudden. My friction zone started in the first millimeter of travel. Actually I am unsure if I can actually pull it in all the way before hitting my grip.

I pried off the horsey and found a few drops of fluid behind it (thank you badweb search feature). But when I opened up the tank- there wasn't a lot of fluid missing, what there was was kind of grey. I topped it up. But did not notice any change in my friction zone. Would I have to start the bike to feel a change?


I am under warranty, so I am wondering if this diagnosis is correct and if riding to the dealer is reasonably safe.

Try bleeding out any air. A Mighty-Vac does the job pretty good.
