Was riding back from New Orleans yesterday and I noticed my clutch lever was softer than normal and when I went to up shift I had to force it up, the same thing downshifting. When I stopped at a red light, it felt like the bike was trying to surge forward with the clutch pulled in. I came home and turned it off. I went through the settings on the lever and put it back on the same number I had it and now it's acting like nothin ever happened. wasn't a happy camper, seeing as I only have 5k miles on it. |

i think he's talking about the clutch-fluid weep that is common with the rev A 1125r's. it sounds like you have air in your clutch line. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCEetGIc9ks Fast-forward to 8:12 to see how to bleed the clutch line. make sure you don't over-torque the bleeder valve. that valve just needs to be a little tighter than "closed", not necessarily "torqued". |

Unlikely you hurt anything. Just bleed with fresh DOT 4 or 5.1 fluid and go from there. My pref is motul rbf600. |
