Greetings, I recently purchased a 2005 749 Dark. I was told when I purchased it that there was a problem with the clutch.
So far I have torn completely dismantled the clutch assembly (Friction, drive plates and springs are all within tolerance).
I've replaced the slave cylinder.
I've bled the clutch from top to bottom multiple times with new fluid - there is no air in the lines.
Basically the clutch disenguages fine now, but when held in for 15-30 seconds the pressure will slowly bleed off and the clutch will slowly re-engage the gear.
There's no leaks
Even when I have the bike in neutral with the engine running over about 60 seconds time with the clutch held in, you can hear the clutch slowly engage and then when I release the clutch handle there is no change in sound because the clutch is already fully engaged.
Any advice on this, my mind is wandering toward the throwout bearing or small piston contained in the handle (master calender?) I'm running out of pieces to replace here...
Thanks for any help!
