Clutch not engaging

Postby premiumroast » Sat Sep 14, 2013 4:30 pm

83 Honda CB650 and hydraulic clutch won't engage, there is almost no resistance on lever. No fluid leak, bled the line but still no clutch. Thoughts??

Rebuild the slave or M/C. Might be able to change fluid to get by.
Did you clean the tank out?!?!?!?!

cb650: Fixed! Bled the line and got all the air out of it. Was able to shift smoothly through all six gears and back to neutral. Did you still have that intact starter switch with the wiring assembly? Turns out the one off the 85 is not compatible. I need one for my 83 CB650. Thanks!

I can send a picture of the plug/pin configuration to see if it is compatible if that is ok?
