Really makes you wonder

Well, it's been a good long time since the start of this thread:

http://www.valkyrieforum.com/bbs/index.php/topic,13394.0.html

My feeling now is that Bartman probably just parked the bike because of frustration.

I was very interested in the outcome to be sure, since it was very mysterious to me.

Or, maybe the shifter pedal just fell off and the embarrassment of admitting it is the reason.

We may never know!

I want to commend all those members on this forum who take the time to post the results of whatever happened regarding the help offered here on the forum.  Regardless of the outcome, it is of importance to those with similar types of problems or symptoms and failure to "follow through" is a disservice to the forum and the forum members.

Just had to say that!

Yup... I'm with you on this one.  People should also take the time/effort to be descriptive in detailing the symptoms and what they've done (in order) to try to figure it out... and what "changes" were previously made to the affected system.  Unfortunately, too many want to type out a single sentence while asking for help and then just sit back and read the volumes of information that magically appear... and then, are too lazy to search their original thread IF they DO "follow-up" and instead, just start a new thread.  

I know I'm much more likely to "get involved" if the one in need of help is willing to put forth a little effort and do their best to share as much detail as they can.  Doesn't mean the one in need has to be highly skilled... but, willing to do their best.

Now, related to Bartman's post... at first, I was wondering about rivets coming loose inside the clutch basket... that's why I was curious about noises.  Now, I'm trying to remember which affect a bad slave cylinder has... I've never had one go out on me, so, I'm not certain about it.  I've had the clutch master cylinder go away on mine... but, that was different symptoms.  I had to pump the clutch a number of times to build enough pressure to get the clutch to work.

Ratdog,

From experience with my truck... when the slave goes, it feels about the same as the it does when the master goes bad, with the only thing different being you run out of fluid. In the last two years I've replaced both on my Ranger.
