New member - first post!
Hi Everyone,
I must admit that I joined in the hopes I can find some repair suggestions. After going about 5 years w/o a bike, I just bought an '86 750F model with only 19K. It's in very good shape - all original, even the exhaust! I put on new tires (Dunlop stock sizes), had the shop do an overall check and test drive and have ridden about 600 miles since. I just lost clutch pressure - there is wayyy too much lever movement before clutch engages, and when it does, it seems like it is all or nothing - not gradual like it is supposed to be. This happened last night. There was a little smoke from the area of the front sprocket and only about 4-5 drops of fluid made it to the ground. Has anyne had similar problems or does anyone have any ideas? I know that I have to find and repair the leak, but is this a known problem with VFRs like the rectifier-type of known issue? Any help is appreciated!!

Hello Greenie!!! Welcome!!! I am also new here but have had quite some experience with bikes. From the sound of it, and the age of the bike, I would think you should take it bake to the repair shop. You have probably worn down the lower clutch cylinder so that everytime you pull the lever, fluid just passes by the piston seals. I think its a fairly complex procedure (if you are not the techie type) so my suggestion above.
All the best |
