Hey All Im having some trouble with my bike. 1. Since I got the bike (roughly 5k miles ago) it has had a bad clutch, it works fine for a while but slowly the clutch engagement point travels outwards on the lever untill finally the clutch starts to slip at high RPM's (4000+) When this happens I just release the bleed screw at the slave cylinder where a small jet of brake fluid shoots out, I tighten the bleed screw while engaging the clutch lever a bit to avoid air getting in. after this it runs like a charm for a while more. I have changes the clutch lever, master cylinder piston, spring and rubber parts, as well as the slave cylinder spring and rubber. the cylinders looks great so I don't think this is the problem. When I bled the clutch I did it with the slave cylinder on the bike and ran a full reservoir of air-less fluid through the system. 2. The engine seems to periodically run on only 3 cylinders, (Could this be the carbs needing cleaning?) 3. When idiling on all 4 cylinders the engine tends to go from 1300 rpm to 1500 rpm as it sees fit. could this be dirty carbs or carbs needing syncronization? I look forward to heering from you :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
