January 28, 20197 yr Had the clutch MC cap off, activated the clutch and tapped the clutch line and lots of small bubbles are coming up. Did this until I was bored and there was plenty of air coming up. Hopefully that's the problem as it's consistent with the symptoms. Have ordered some clutch oil and will give it a proper bleed and hope it's sorted. As mentioned earlier in the thread, the bikes are shipped with the handlebars inverted, which could be the cause.
January 29, 20197 yr That sounds promising. If it was like that from the dealer then it seems like a pretty poor assembly and testing procedure they have..

To be fair, the clutch worked and you wouldn't notice much just riding it around a car park. I could just tell that it wasn't working like a modern clutch should when actually riding a section. Still disappointing but hopefully an easy fix. I always have issues with new bikes so this one is hopefully pretty minor.
January 29, 20197 yr I finally sorted the clutch after 2 or 3 oil changes and centering the belleville spring over the press-plate (it has about 1-2 mm of concentric play and resulted in the pulsating effect that my bike suffered). After this, I made a new press-plate with less inner diameter and 0.15 mm less of pressure to have the same good feel of mi trusty GG'06. Also had the same bubbles in both lines (brake and clutch) due to the bad habit of shipping. I don't know why they don't remove both masters and zip them in vertical position to the fork, this is how I send my bikes crated. Cheers, JM
