2nd gen clutch binding after slave cyl rebuild

I had a leaky clutch slave clylinder (service manual calls it release cylinder). I cleaned & replaced the seals in the master & slave cyls.
I replaced the fluid, bleed the line from the slave nipple, etc.
Now my clutch is binding.

I pulled out & cleaned the clutch release rod when working on the slave cyl. I'm wondering if that somehow disengaged the clutch.

No fluid leaks. If I open the slave cyl cover, I can confirm the slave piston is moving. I tried moving the clutch rod by hand but it didn't budge.

Any helpful suggestions ?
- bleed the banjo bolt ?
- check the slave cyl ?
- change the oil ?

happy riding,

 

i would rebleed it starting with the banjo bolts

 

bleed the whole thing again....

 

What kind of pressure are you feeling at the lever? Does it have any free play at the lever?

By "binding" do you mean the clutch is not engaging? That when you pull the lever in with the engine running you can't put it in gear without grinding?

 

+1 for bleeding the banjo bolt. That did the job.

A helpful tip from this post (http://vfrworld.com/forums/showthre...83-interceptor?p=231010&viewfull=1#post231010) was to rotate the master cyl to lower the banjo relative to the mc piston.
