Two weeks ago I took the 2005 Monster S4R out and it ran fine. Week latter the gears/clutch seemed to occasionally not want to disengage all the way. Readjusting the leaver pull distance was a temporary fix to get me home. Day latter, doesn't disengage all the way even there.
I have attempted to bleed the clutch assuming there is air in the line, and no luck. Looked at several tutorials on how to do it and no matter how I go about it no change at all.
Anyone have any suggestions on areas I might be making a mistake and failing to get all the air out? I followed this tutorial (
) minus the part where he pulls out the rod and works with the nipple on the handle bar (Monster doesn't seem to have one?). Noticed the other nipple was letting air in through the threads when I loosened it, so put a bit of teflon tape around it to stop that making sure to stay way clear of the base of it.
Its also possible I'm barking up the wrong tree and that there is some other issue, but its a pretty simple system as far as I can tell. Anyplace else I should check?
