November 30, 20169 yr Hi Everyone, Excuse my lack off bike mechanic knowledge. I bought my 315r approx two weeks ago. It does need quite a bit of work doing, but thats why i wanted it. My clutch is not working, the clutch lever will only move a small amount. There appears to be plenty of fluid in the resevoir, but nothing happens? Also the rear brake caliper piston is siezed in. I can depress the brake pedal the whole way, but nothing happens. The oil level seems correct? Any help much appreciated!
November 30, 20169 yr Is the clutch lever seized on the pivot bolt or is piston seized in the bore. Has the brake master cylinder seal gone?
November 30, 20169 yr Dose the front brake lever have some free play in it before it contacts the cylinder? If not the first thing to do is adjust a small amount of play in the lever. If that doesn't fix it pull the lever and check that it isn't frozen as indicated by Jimmy. On the rear brake, bleed the system and see if that helps. I had the best luck doing a reverse bleeding process but even a good job doing it the traditional fashion should at least get enough of a result to know if you have a bad master or just some air in the line.
