no clutch pressure
I recently bought a 85 Madurai 1200. I can't get no pressure on my clutch I've beep it and also changed master cylinder. Does any one know what I need to try next

Re: no clutch pressure
You would be better off at the GS Resources board. These old smokers don't have hydraulic clutches. Bleed the master cylinder first. Then use a mighty-vac at the slave cylinder bleeder screw to suck out air and old fluid.
I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.

Re: no clutch pressure
Sorry I missed this, you want to be sure the handlebars are turn so the clutch master cylinder is at the high point of the line. I had that problem before too with my Madura.
