cluch problem

[r4vtr]

just been putting bike back together after fittting new front sprocket but now the cluch seems like it has no bite n the bike cuts out when trying to pull off any advice would be great thanks gaz

Needs a good bleed, if you didn't tie the clutch lever to the handlebar then air has got in.

Cutting out would probably be due to the side stand switch.

i thought it might need bleading dont think its the side stand swich just feels like theres no presure at the lever will check the swich though

Slave cylinder piston has a spring, so the piston comes out of the cylinder far enough to allow air in, and fluid out.
Just bleed it through and away you go.

just a thought - when did you last check / change the oil, and what oil did you use?
it's a wet clutch and low oil level or minging oil scorches the plates and they're never the same.
long life car oils have ptfe in to prolong engine life (misery) and are no good in bikes.
same applies to any bike with wet clutch.

just done the plates on my cbx cos of scorching due to bad oil - what a difference, and only cost me £35!

ive just done an oil n filter change i always use castrol power 1 gps semi synthetic and its changed reguler so dont think it will be that will give it a bleed tomorow think that should sort it
