HELP! sv1000 clutch bleeding - SV650.org

19-03-16, 01:02 PM

I have rebuilt the master cylinder and I am now bleeding the system I have pressure in the lever and no more air bubbles coming from the bleed nipple with the engine off and in gear the rear wheel will not move when the clutch is applied when the bike is running it will move freely in gear with the clutch applied but when throttle is applied it wants to creep forward any help would be appreciated

has the bike been sitting about for a while?

if its not fully disengaging then i would say there is still air in the system. try back filling with a syringe.

yes it has been sitting for a few weeks I went for a ride and it shifts ok and everything seems ok then let the bike ccol down and then its hard to move the bike in 1st with the clutch lever pulled in

does it move freely in neutral?
does it creep if the bike is running while sitting on it with the clutch in and in first?

Moves freely in neutral and when I was riding it when stopped didn't creep at all

All bikes will have resistance when the clutch is pulled in and its in gear. Neutral is always far easier as you have no gear engaged and the transmission and final drive have no resistance.
