"Jumps" when putting it in 1st gear

[FJRay]

I wish I could own something for less than a month and ride four others and become expert enough to tell the world how it was built wrong and then explain how to fix it without ever seeing how it is built. :lol:

What seemed to help ease my clutch grab was changing oil from Yamalube brand to whatever I prefer...and following the clutch break-in proceedure recommended for the AE auto clutch in the Service manual = put bike on centerstand - sit on bike - ensure no family, friends, or animals you care for are in front of you - start engine - warm to 4 bars - apply rear brake real good and hold it - pull clutch and put in gear - let clutch out until it almost wants to stall - briefly add at least 1/4 throttle for about 1 second - repeat at least 10 times or until the radiator fans come on - go ride then have a beverage knowing you've followed an approved proceedure at least once in the last year or so.

Who the hell said I was an expert? And do you need to know how your brakes work in order to bleed them? Regardless how they work, all have freaking valves to bleed. Similar analogy; all hydraulic clutches push a freaking rod. At least I was trying to help, rather than being an expert at criticizing rather than helping.

Gary, great info buddy, as usual. Worth a try too.

And Mike, how do you know that without trying? Without taking apart the clutch, only way to know is trying. And am out of here for good. Later.

Don't want to prolong the agony to much longer. I think this horse is just about gone.

Yes, I believe you should know how the brakes work before you start dicking around with them as it is probably the most important system on the bike and if not carefully serviced bad things could happen.

No, All hydraulic clutches do not push a rod. some act directly on the clutch itself and others operate a system of levers and pivots to disengage or engage.

Not trying to be terribly critical just making an observation based on the way you expressed your self.

Have a real nice day.
