Hi Guys, Just bought a V-Max about a month ago, I had previously been riding crotch rockets... (finally grew out of that stage, thank god) and now im noticing that my clutch is leaking from underneath. Also occasionally the bike doesnt want to shift easily out of 1st when at a stop. Once I bleed the clutch it works fine for a bit but the problem comes back as it leaks and gets air in the line. Also I think my clutch may be slipping, in 4th and 5th gears as I accelerate hard from about 5000rpm to 9000rpm the bike jumps up quickly in rpm but not until about a half second later does the bike really take off. Not sure if thats normal for the bikes to rev up for a split second in 4th and 5th before they really take off or if its clutch slip. Also if its clutch slip could it be caused by the air in my lines? Or do i need a new clutch. Any advice or help would be appreciated. Thanks
