I sorry for posting again but I bought a real lemon [bang] [bang]
OK it's a 1995 900cc monster
Yesterday I was on a boulevard at 50 km an hour and when I tried to pull the clutch the was no clutch!!!! :o ( no resistance!!)
Tanks to my incredible superheros Blondie talent i manage to stop the bike witout the clutch [Dolph] [thumbsup] ;D [bow_down] ( yea!! try that just to see!! [ cheeky] )
So I've cheek the lever it's OK ... and after that I've open the clutch took out the spring ( yes in the Right order..opposite from each other !)
What I see is the push rod is completely bent!!!
:o
SO I look in the Hayne's manual and they say that is just I've to slide it out of but it's so bent that even whit "vise grips" i cannot move it one bit
I was wandering if the "slave cylinder" that is on the other side of the bike is holding it in ??? which would mean that i would have To bleed the clutch and take out the "slave cylinder ??....?
Or How do i get it out ???
+ now I'm taking the dealer to court. ..tanks my law degree !!".. ;D
for a quick resume
-starter motor fails
-clutch fails
-He sold me the bike whit half the breaks in front( only one rotor and only one caliper !!!)!!!
-ignition modules fails to...
What a lemon !!!
You can take the slave cylinder off without bleeding the circuit. That said you may want to bleed that circuit. it's pretty easy. Do you have any pictures of the bent pushrod?
No ........the dealer just called me and they taking the bike tomorow morning to see everyting that wrong whit it ...... :) [bow_down] I'm hoping that i wil not have to do mechanic or the rest of the season ...I just wana ride [Dolph] :'(
The real question here is why would the pushrod bend?

After tinking about it, I've got the bike in may ...
since then each time I was going out...( after 45min or an hour ) the clutch became really hard to use...I've hear many comment on how the clutch was heavy on a Ducati ...but I go to the gym 3 time a week so.... ;D I tough after I saw the push rod that bent i said to myself that maybe after an hour of riding the metal of the rod took some expansion due to the heat an due to that it was pushing towards the edges of the shaft.... witch in turn wasn't functioning properly ( and yes I'm still overtinking everyting [roll] ;D )

retirer le recepteur d'embrayage et d'examiner la tige hors du moteur ..
the dealer took the bike this morning and will see what's wrong whit it [bow_down] [clap]
the basic idea was to take the rod out that was the purpose of the topic.... on the Hayne's manual they say that i just have to slide it out. since it didn't work in my case I was wandering if something was actually holding it in place.??? ( once the pressure plate is out )
P.s. In French we always use mechanical terms in English ;) it's easier to undersand because I don't know what "recepter d'embrayage" means. Probably french of France they use those french terms ..but here in Quebec where lazy learners ;D so we use the terms in English
retirer le pushrod sounds weird... :-)
yeah but whe tell it like that....lol tabarnak de Calise!! ;D

The rod should slide out pretty easily. With the pressure plate removed, there is nothing holding it. It just rests in the passage through the engine.
tanks sad panda [thumbsup] that what i realy wanted to know :) ...and share some of my Quebec culture to ...lol ;D [laugh]

Any news from the dealer yet?
the dealer wil probebly call me by the start of the week becose it took it just this morning i'll keep everybody in touch whti the news :)
[popcorn]
I am curious to know how the clutch push rod got bent? I have not seen it before.
[popcorn]
I'm sorry to go slightly off topic. My sister's M1100 is experiencing some clutch problems. There is no resistance at all until I squeeze it almost all the way down. Even then it feels like I'm power shifting. I guess it just feels like the clutch wasn't entirely engaged when I change gears. Which is a problem because I need to figure out how to fix it before Laguna Seca on the 22nd!
please help out!
hans
Try bleeding it first

I guess it's because of the clutch springs where used beyond the min specs .... i think that implied that the pressure plate was to "loose" not putting sufficient pressure on the rod that bent ??? maybe because it's a Blonde guess... ;D
And i called the dealer yesterday ...they gone call me back next week.. ???.but I dont have new on the condition of the bike :'(
So here it is
The pushrod was bent by a Bering that went loose in the clutch ...that's what they told me so they replace the push rod and the Berings ...for the first time the bike woks like a charm ...looking forward to my vacation in 4 week !!!! [Dolph] ;D
tanks everyone [thumbsup] ;)
Glad to hear all is well [beer] (Maudite in the correct glass, of course)
