I have a 2000 1400 intruder the clutch does not engage until the lever is all the way out. Is this a bad clutch?
SOURCE: Long clutch pull/engagment on 696?
I recently installed CRG levers on our 696. No boot to fiddle with on this model. You can see the Allen key on the back of the lever perch from the outside or bar end. Simply adjust the Allen screw in/out with an Allen socket and ratchet to a range of positions then check clutch engagement and drag via a few test starts. Too far one direction and the clutch hangs up while too far the other way can give you an off/off switch lacking in full engagement that is hard on the gearbox. Conservatively set after 15 minutes of adjusting and testing resulted in an incredible reduction in the distance that my wife had to reach her tiny hands. She was extremely pleased as this completely addressed her only real complaint and made it much easier to ride. I did take the more expensive route with the Termi cans, getting a bit of a break from my local dealer at about $1250. The upside I found was that there really is no need for the dealer to install the cans because re-mapping wasn't necessary as it was with my 1098. If you are capable of unbolting your gas tank (a gazillion Allen screws on the tank covers and three bolts on the tank) and have a spare set of hands available to hold it so you don't have to undo fuel lines it is fairly simple. It's a good idea to take the tank covers off so you can see where everything is hiding. While you are under there with the battery disconnected I recommend installing a battery charger pigtail so you can easily plug in a trickle charger for the off-season. I spent maybe two hours - less time than on the fender eliminator. Again as I found putting Termi cans on my1098 the 696 loses the irritating leanness, starts much easier (fast idle no longer necessary) and runs much cooler. Plus it's all covered under warranty. With the removable sound deadener inserts you have a much nicer sound in your choice of "mellow" and "heavy metal". In my mind it now sounds like a Duc is supposed to sound. One trick on the install: the new CPU caused my dash to switch to EU (km instead of miles). There is an excellent detailed thread on this site that shows how to change back to US settings. Takes about two minutes.
SOURCE: clutch release lever has no pressure clutch stays engaged. just replaced clutch and everything else
The clutch pedal is attached to a semi gear assembly that self adjusts to any changes in clutch position. The most common problem is that the plastic gear has stripped. The other common problem is that the clutch cable has broken. Repair is simple but you will need an estimate before any repairs are done. Typical time should be 1-2 hours shop time,plus parts.

Maybe, and maybe not. If it is a problem with the master cylinder, then it could be bleeding back into the reservoir.
If it will not pump up and pressurize, and there are no signs of a leak, then you need to look at the master cylinder.

You'll need to adjust this by the adjuster right on the lever assembly itself.
SOURCE: Not enough play between clutch engagement. pull
check your master cylinder fluid level you have air in the line, you need to bleed out the air bubbles.
remove the master cylinder cap make sure yo uhave enough brake fluid pump the lever watch for fine bubbles keep doing it until you feel the resistance build up and the air bubbles are gone ad fluid to proper level replace the cap.
