Hey All,
So about two weeks ago I bled and serviced all three brake discs and flushed and filled the clutch fluid. The DOT4 in the clutch was crazy dirty, and we flushed it all out and got clean DOT4 in there. Since then, shifting into neutral has been very difficult. After starting it in 1st (or shifting to N before I start in order to warm it up), it requires a lot of upward force to shift into N, much more than before I serviced the clutch. The clutch and friction zone feel the same. Shifting while riding requires a little bit more firm pressure, but it shifts with a definitive click. Shifting into N seems to get easier throughout a ride, but it’s always quite a bit more difficult that before the service, and much stickier than I’ve had on other bikes. Is this a result of air in the system? I’m 99% sure I didn’t get any air in there, but I suppose its a non-zero chance. Any ideas what this could be? Thanks.
