Is it normal....

csguru · 05-28-2008, 03:12 PM

Bike is off, trans in gear, clutch is pulled all the way in.... Trans is still causing drag making it hard to push bike... Does yours do that?

Never experienced that on other bikes, is it a characteristic of hydraulic clutch or something out of adjustment or just another "feature"??

Thanx

I think if you pump the lever 3 or 4 times it will roll freely.
I could be wrong. Someone else will chime in shortly

If the oil is cold, there is a lot of drag from the clutch plates. If the oil is hot, it'll roll much easier.

If its been sitting a while it usually takes a couple good jolts forward and backward to loosen everything up.

Pretty much normal....no need to worry about it.

Can surprise you a little too if you start it cold in gear.

It's official by a landslide......... it's a feature.
