I have a 2008 Breva 1200. I took it for a run Saturday and noticed that the clutch was coming back to the bar and not disengaging properly.
I stopped at a mates house (which was where I was heading) and had a look - the reservoir was empty.
Topped it up, and got the air out and normal operation was resumed - enough for a good ride home again.
Questions:
- Is a leaking clutch slave cylinder a common fault on theses bikes?
- Are there any other ways the fluid might disappear.
- How many miles can I expect out of a clutch? Is it worth taking the actual clutch apart whilst I have the swingarm off and replacing the friction plates?
The bike has done 47,000 miles.
The clutch looks identical to older tonti framed bikes with cable clutches so I expect the wear would be similar,
