The hydraulic clutch on my 2008 is loosing pressure. If you pull the clutch all the way in it's fine but if you have to modulate it for any reason like being #2 on a hill at a stop sign it feels week and engages early. Fluid must be leaking past the pressure piston. Anyone else ever have this problem ??

Steve, just bleed it out and replace the fluid, most likely the problem. I've had to change mine at least twice since I had the Vision. I'm ready to change it out again.

I had this problem with the Honda and went about 1,000 miles and had to pump it up to get it to get the clutch to release. Fluid was old and when it got hot, it was not doing the job. I was riding interstate so the stops were just for gas and it would hold for the few moments that I needed it. It was dead after few miles, but some pumping brought it back to life. Oh, the memories.

It could be the slave cylinder. My clutch was doing the same thing on my 2008 Vision.

Keep in mind that the hydraulic fluid will pick up moisture over time and that is the major problem. When the fluid get hot the water will turn to vapor and you'll loose the the fluids ability to keep the pressure up. I change my brake and clutch fluids every two years.

That is the second time that link has been spammed here.

I would think the mods would have deleted the post by now.
