clutch question

Last year, on the way up to Donington to watch the qualifying for the Motogp, the 748 clutch started to become non-existant. By that, I mean that it did not slip or make any unusual noises but as the bike got hotter the biting point on the lever became less and less until there was a good period of clutchless changes going on. The bike is in Moto Rapido in Winchester for its 12k service; is there anything that I should ask them to look for?? I am guessing spring tension but that is purely a guess.

Sounds like the slave cylinder is leaking. Being made worse as the engine temp. increases.
Spring tension would mean it'd start to slip.

748jim, I’ve got exactly the same problem with mine. You bleed the clutch to death then after about 80 miles it doesn’t work!

I’m going to fit new seals to the slave cylinder as at £4 it’s worth a go instead of a buying a new one.
