Clutch won't disengage all the way

[JackTheTripper]

At stops when I'm in 1st even though I have the lever pulled all the way to the grip I can feel the bike tugging a little. Just noticed it so I havent' checked the fluid level yet. Is that what it is?

Thanx

No its not the fluid level.....no resivor for the clutch

No resivor? Then what's that container right next to the lever that says "Use only Dot 3 or 4 fluid"?

86 Honda Interceptor. It does have a hydrolic clutch. Says so right on the side of the clutch case. There are two identical resivors. one on each side. Had the thing 4 years and never added any fluid to it. Don't know if the shop has the couple of times I had it in.

So yes, i'm sure it's for the clutch.

Thanx for replying BTW.

A hydraulic cluch has a master cylinder, and resivoir on the bar, and a slave cylinder at the clutch

Air in the line will reduce the action of the slave cylinder and not allow it to fully disengage

If you have gotten air in the lines you must bleed them just like bleeding brakes.

Some Slave cylinders have adjustments, but be careful if you adjust it wrong it will not fully engage
