Hello, New Valk owner here...I have a 2014 and when you pull the clutch lever (with the engine off) you can hear a squishing sound or fluid moving.  It is not from the master cylinder and the fluid level shows normal.  The noise is from the back of the engine/clutch area. I thought I would give it some time, the bike has around 600 miles on it now and no change. I had a dealer look at it quickly and they said it was fine, I didn't purchase it from this dealer and I don't have another around to compare it to.  Anyone else aware of this? Not sure if this is normal or if it is an early sign that there may be a problem....Thanks.

Possible it has a small amount of air in the line.  If it's not losing fluid and shifts fine, I wouldn't even worry about it.

I think mine makes a funny squishing sound. My old Valkyrie is totally
silent. It bothered me for a while, but it kept on making the sound
after I changed out the clutch line and the associated bleeding.

I reckon it is what it is. When my buddies were looking the bike
over one of them said, "I like the way the clutch feels..."

Mine has the same sound. 

I would not worry about it.  Clutch works, that's all I care.  If I have a problem, that is what warranties are for.

Could not hear any noise at all and dead silence when testing. Strange.
