I own a 98 Intruder 800, an I have no pressure in clutch lever can anybody help?

Answer 1

I had the same problem just after buying my 1988 Yamaha FJ1200 with a hydraulic clutch. The fluid was dirty and the slave cylinder (by the clutch) was leaking. I cleaned out the reservoir, flushed the pipes, cleaned out the slave cylinder and fitted a new slave seal. Now it's good as new for the price of a seal (about $5), a half litre brake fluid and an hour of my week-end.

Answer 2

It has a hydralic clutch, if I were you the first thing Id do is check the reserviour for the clutch fluid and see if it needs filled, now if it does then that means that the fluid that was in it went some where! I'd look for leaks that are obvious first as it could be a line leaking. If there is no leaks and the pressure is still not there it may be that your slave cylinder(Which is like a brake master cylinder for the clutch function) has worn out internal components like rubber plungers. If so you have to replace it! Also if you do find a leak and repair it, also remember to blled the slave cylinder and lines to make sure the air is all out! Good luck!

Answer 3

"bravehearted33" is right. It's a hydraulic clutch and any time a hydraulic system goes limp the first place to look is for air in the lines. And then figure out how the air got there. Solve this problem and you're back on the road. Ride safe.

Answer 4

Is it a hydraulic clutch or a cable operated one. If it is a cable clutch lever, you probably broke the cable, or it needs to be tightened. If it is hydraulic, check for leaks at the master cylander or the lines. Look for puddles of hydraulic fluid. If it is neither of those problems email me and i can help out with other ideas.

Answer 5

check the cable it may be loose are snapped in two, if not it is internal in the clutch itself.
