Originally posted by CipiVTSFinally the issue is after riding at high speeds (200kmh) for a few minutes the clutch lever is dead and it engages very close to the handlebar. I have to press it a couple of times till it gets firm again. After a few more miles it becomes worse again. I checked the pressure plate bearing and it moves freely and ok. Rod is greased, i have no fluid leaks.

What can it be?

I was having just this problem a few weeks ago and I ended up doing clutchless changes for the last 50 miles of a Good Friday rideout. I've since changed the fluid and it has got better, but having said that, I haven't really ridden the bike hard since then - however, it's still not perfect and a bit of high speed running tends to bring the biting point a little further back towards the bar.

I'll watch the advice with interest. I have my own ideas as to what is causing the problem, but I'm a self-confessed numpty, so I'll keep my gob shut!
