Hi, my bike has been idle for about six months as I had various issues with it that needed to be sorted out and repairs, also bleeding the ABS brake system too. Anyway all the work has been completed and I went to start the bike, fired up OK no problems, only when I came to change gear from Neutral to first it connected straight away even though the clutch lever was pulled in. I thought maybe the clutch needed bleeding also so carried that out but still same problem engine is engaged as soon as I shift to first gear with clutch pulled in. So any idea folks as to what to do? Think maybe the slave cylinder is at fault and needs replacing. If the clutch plates are at fault then I will need a good repair manual, who is best?
