Floppy Clutch On 2014 Te310r

Clutch is floppy when engine heats up, going to replace the fluid, seems worse with elevation as well. Any recommendations on clutch fluid? Motul 660?

Is it possible that the slave has a leak? There is some fluid sprayed onto the engine near the slave but I would think it would go into the engine. We opened the master and there was fluid in it, maybe a little low but I don't know how to tell.

"floppy" is a weird description; but I'd guess you have air somewhere in the hydraulic system. Try carefully bleeding it.

good luck.

You could be boiling the fluid but it is harder to do on a clutch than a brake which has more heat to deal with.

Changing and bleeding is a good idea. Bet it fixes it.

Agree; probably air in the system. Do a bleed. If it continues look at doing a master rebuild kit.

I had my clutch go out a few times on high elevation runs. Comes back in a minute if I shut off. Probably the seals on the piston in the slave. I believe there are 2. First time this occurred I noticed small white particles in the clutch fluid. I had a shop flush the line with new fluid. Happened again the following year on a mountain run and subsequently a 3rd time. Check banjos for any possible weeping of fluid. Otherwise get replacement seals and pull slave and replace seals. I did suspect as some have mentioned boiling/heat and my cluch line was very close to the header so considered that as a cause. I had asked Ty when I brought my bike in for an engine rebuild and his reaction was probably the seals as the failure.

good point.

I loosely wrapped my clutch line (and electrical lines ziptyed to it) in heat-reflecting tape for about 6".

The replacement of fluid did the trick. Now new problems to deal with. Will make a new thread.
