Isn't Your clutch hydraulic operated !?
So air in the system or hydrated oil would be my guess.

 

I was afraid that was the case. I guess one issue in 16500kms is not bad.

thanks

 

My Mates 1090 rr 2010 does the same thing ,we are going to open it up,We have a feeling it is the push rod that might be a bit short,or the plates are sticking,not sure yet as my 1078 rr does not do it ,even when the original clutch was in there,I have replaced it with the EVR CLUCTH .

 

Flushing and replacing hydraulic fluid is routine maintenance. Clutch fluid gets pretty hot......the slave cylinder automatically adjusts for wear......oil on plates creates some friction that could cause light drag when the oil is still cold. Not so much when hot.

Flush out your old fluid with some good DOT4 from a new can.

 

Well, I just got the full system flushed (The fluid was replaced) and the problem remains...any other thoughts?

thanks

 

Warped metal plates or, more likely, notches worn in the basket fingers or hub splines. Time to take the clutch apart for inspection.

 

This is what caused my Brute to creep at stop lights. Luckily it was a warranty replacement.

 

Thank you. I never had a clutch let go so early (16,000km of street riding)

 

Do you have aftermarket levers?

 

I did have the corse lever for a period of time but they weren't very comfortable so I removed them over a year ago.

 

What is on there now...for levers? Stock?

 

Yes. I removed the aftermarket levers over a year ago. I am sure it is the clutch. While holding the clutch in, if i give it some gas and hold it the bike stops "walking" has soon as I let it drop to idle, it starts "walking" again.

 

Is the lever adjusted out to it's full extent?

 

Seriously to not know it`s a hydraulic clutch seems to indicate a lack of thinking and knowledge

 

Thank you for your very helpful post.

 

You're welcome, a manual is your friend, try reading it. Facebook doesn`t have the answer for everything.

 

This isn't FaceBook is it?? I get so confused these days.....:wtf:

 

Hi Maser,

I have the exact same problem on my 2011 F4 1000R, let me know if you find a fix, here's the previous thread:

Ask Maser, he will show you how to adjust the cable.

 

And I thought we all joined this forum because we all have MVs and that there wasn't any problem when someone asks a question.

 

This is true: however, ocassionally, we lose our civility.
