Bled clutch/ broken master cylinder spring

[docc]

Note that the PO turned the plunger screw as far in as it could go, and adjusted the lever position as far away as it can be.

This is exactly what I did to compensate for the broken spring inside the master cylinder.

Perhaps what you need is a master cylinder rebuild?

Even with those adjustment settings, is there play in the lever travel?

If you mean play before the lever engages the piston. I don't know its tough to say with no pressure. I had the lever adjusted all the way out to lengthen the pull when I was pumping. That's not how I normally ride.

Seriously makes me wonder about the internal clutch master spring condition. Rebuild kit is readily available and not hard to install.

How many miles on your V11?

I ordered the kit from MG cycle. My sport has around 13000 miles on it.

The kit arrived but I decided to give it one more shot before the M/C rebuild. I bought a cheap Harbor Freight brake bleeder vacuum. Success in about 6 minutes! I Guess I needed to spend unnecessary money and waste a bunch of time like usual. With the benefit of hindsight, I'm glad I didn't burn the garage down. Thanks Doc

Nothing wrong with having that rebuild kit in your spares pile.

Glad to hear you are back in the saddle!
