somethin went
Ridin home to Santa Cruz and pulled off in Scotts Valley. Pulled up to the light and the clutch didn't disengage with the lever. Then the oil pressure light came on. Pushed it to the side of the road and now im headed to get my truck/trailer. Oil level seemed okay, coolant is unchanged, and clutch had fluid still. Ideas?

So the clutch didn't disengage when you pulled the lever in...did you hit neutral or stop in gear?
'Cause if you stopped in gear, and it stalled, the oil light would go on.... I vote --optimistically, I know-- for a simple clutch failure of some sort. Let us know... S

When you pull in the clutcj, does it feel normal? Does it come to the grip like normal, have proper tension, etc? I cant relate the clutch not disengaging to the oil system...

Sounds to me like the slave went and the oil light was just a coincidence.

I'd agree with the clutch slave that went.
but you did change your clutch plates last month. Could it be related? I have a spare clutch slave. If you'd like, come on by. If you need help, let me know as well.

With the bike in neutral I am getting a rattle and low pressure indicator light (As if I needed the light when I can hear the rattle)

 Have you pulled the clutch cover and made sure all of the clutch bolts are still tight? Though that probably would not give you the oil light indication. |
