Me and my Valk at Freedom Rock

Getting ready to head to Dubuque on Monday. Maybe.

Having issues with clutch. Pretty sure it isn't the clutch itself but a fluid issue.
Replaced the lever bushing and pin thinking that would resolve the issue.
Did for a bit.

After a bit of wrestling with a reservoir cover screw finally get the cover off and find hardly any fluid at all. Put some in, actually had some of the right stuff, and things seem better.

So, if things remain good, I'll try and get there. Leaning on going because I heard there might be some knowledgeable Valkyrie folks in Dubuque.

If I continue to have significant issues (pull clutch lever and wants to stay in gear issues) then probably not. Will decide tomorrow.

Had a similar issue on one of my Valks.  Turned out to be the clutch slave cylinder.

Neighbor master mechanic gave it a once over and declared it good to go.

The added fluid seemed to do the trick. Couldn't see it in the window before and can now.

So all is good till it implodes in the most inconvenient place and time imaginable on the way there.

It's already been a Twilight Zone year so kinda planning for disaster and hoping for better.

Cya folks there!
