Flush Hydraulic Brake Line

Post by Dragon Lord »

2000 Voyager XII Trike (Kit). Clutch has quit working.
You can feel the transmission change gears, but the clutch will not engage the engine.
When you release the clutch lever, nothing happens... No movement at all.
You can even change gears (back to N or into 2nd) without even touching the clutch lever.
Things I have read say to flush the hydraulic line first of all, but I can't find any info
(such as a video or even a manual to read online) on how to do that.
Any information would be greatly appreciated!!

If the clutch hydraulics were a problem, it would likely be that you couldn't engage the clutch release. But what you describe is as if the clutch release were engaged all the time. Honestly sounds like a serious problem with the clutch, not the hydraulic system. My next step would be to pull that cover and see what's actually going on.

It may also be that the return port in the master cylinder is plugged,try opening the the bleed on the slave cylinder behind the chrome left engine cover. :hmm:
Then let us know what you find. :thk:
