Hiya Chaps, not a good weekend…I fear that I have, yet again, more clutch problems. I have not owned my 1999 748bp for long and I seem to be having lots of problems in a short space of time. I’m kind of new to DSC and hope that someone can point me in the right direction.

I have noticed that the clutch lever action on my 748 seems to have a little extra play than it should. On looking at some of the comments posted by dukess999 clutch problem ‘Stephen’ mentioned that the slave cylinder could have seized… perhaps this could be my problem?! I know for a fact that the clutch is not slipping.

Even when I have the bike in 1st gear and the clutch lever pulled in (when stood still), I have noticed that I cannot move the bike back and forth in a ‘neutral’ gear state.

I had a 12k service at the end of July by TecMoto, primarily because I had the classic slipping clutch problem. The plates were replaced which solved the problem.

I would be grateful if someone can point me in the right direction, or perhaps help me to diagnose the problem further.

Much appreciated for any help you can provide.
