Intruder 750

[klogan45]

Can some one please help with a problem that's driving me and bikerpsycho mental...wibble wibble!!
Bikerpsycho has an intruder 750, the clutch went so between us we fixed it!!! Fixed being a matter of opinion. Its a hydraulic clutch. The clutch is not disengaging the drive. If you pull in the clutch lever and try to start the engine it pulls forward. I suggested bleeding the master cylinder... that did'nt work but I noticed that when you pump the lever, some small bubbles come in to the resevoir and if you pull the lever in quickly some of the fluid comes up like a little (tiny) fountain, about half an inch high. Would this be a clue that the master cylinder seals are banjaxed? It may be a very basic question but we do need a little help...Please.
We can then sort it out and get the little bugger out from under my feet sometimes. He's a good lad but you can have too much of a good thing ( I expect he'll read this and i could be in trouble .... again )
Thanks a lot
Regards
Keith

ah ha you have the trapped air syndrom i bet its a nissen master cyl fitted? its an easy cure! take the cap off and pull the lever about a dozen times and release slowly you should get a stream of very small bubbles do this 2 or three times and then bleed as normal dont worry about the small fountain in the cyl thats just the displaced fluid returning.that should cure it

And if that don't work, try my infallible cure for brakes that won't firm up - bungy the lever tight to the bar and leave it overnight!
