I have a SportClassic S1000, and I recently switched out my reservoirs with Rizoma units. I did go through the exercise of bleeding the clutch system, after noticing air bubbles in the hose. Everything seemed fine. Had a few rides since, and no issues.
But yesterday, I noticed that it felt like the clutch was not fully disengaging. The issue seemed to come and go. But at one stop, I could not shift from 2nd to 1st, and I could not find neutral. Later in the day, I took a freeway off ramp, and rolling down hill in traffic, even though I was completely squeezing the clutch lever, the bike still died. And then it wouldn't start again (hit the starter switch an nothing happened). But after I pumped the clutch lever a few times, then I could start the bike.
Is this a simple issue of needing to bleed the clutch system again?
Thanks for your feed back.
