Hello everyone,,, just flushed clutch and brakes, fluid pretty gooey in the clutch, took awhile but got it done, brakes are much better,,, BUT... I feel now that my clutch lever must now be let out more than before before she moves, not quite all the way out but close, say quarter inch?? It seems to shift up and down ok but not as much peddle??? thanks,,,,

Mine is the same.  Only have to pull maybe 3/4 inch to have it start to disengage

well, I'm reading a lot of guys that have had a similar experience AFTER flushing master and xing fluid,, I understand  that all hyd clutches engage/disengage very near the "all out" lever position and they should engage/ disengage in first 1 to 2'' from fully extended OUT, as mine is NOW doing AFTER the above maint was done ,  so...I guess I need to get used to it...it sounds like its NOW working properly
