Hi Mad maxers, I just bought a 2001 VMAX stock in great shape with 9400 miles on it a few weeks ago.
Although I've ridden bikes for a long time this is my first V-Max so I thought I'd ask for advise before I work on it.
My Clutch lever isn't engaging. Basically when I pull the lever, it pulls down completely with no resistance at all. I can barely slip into 1st gear and no more. its a task to get her back to neutral.
What do I need to check first? I don't think this is a Clutch plate issue. I believe there is a problem with the line but I've not worked with hydraulic lines before.

Thanks,
vipulMax
 
It definitely sounds like you need to Bleed it.
You might want to rebuild the Master and Slave wile you're at it.
 
Thank again Dennis! finally, what fluid would you recommend for a 2001 VMAX?
