I found the cause to the dirty cluch fluid.
i was about to go out for a sunday ride this morning
and found that i had no clutch fluid in the reservoir
which had recently been very black.
After checking all the cluch line i decided to strip down
the clutch release cylinder.
There was a massive build up of road gunk in there mixed with old fluid,the oil seal was badly pitted and a fair amount of wear on the cylinder walls.I guess small contaminents had got past the seal and into the oil.Its now all stiped down and clean again after using metal polish
on the cylinder and i now have to wait for the dealer to open tommorrow and order a new seal.Thats another week of no riding and now the weather`s just got good over here.
