so it seems my electrical issues are resolved and now may have a clutch problem. I took the bike out for a shakedown ride. When letting the clutch out it doesn't seem to grab until the lever is almost all the way out. The lever feels pretty firm but I figured let me bleed it anyway since its been a while. Some of the fluid that came out was black so I was worried about a seal going. had this happen with the slave cylinder on an old aprilia I had. the clutch felt slightly better after the bleeding. I was wondering if its anything I need to worry about or should just get out and ride it. Theres no leaking around the disc, and I had that fixed under warrantee many years ago.

This is the way it is. Engagement doesn't happen till the lever is almost out. You can move it around with adjustable levers. I like my lever in a little bit, so I don't have to use the full travel of the lever.
