Won't Idle in Gear
I HAVE read a bunch of post on this forum and others about this. But can't seem to get a clear understanding of what might be the issue.
Would like a little help to eliminate what it might or might not be.
This is what I have happening. Idles good in N, pull clutch shift into first, idles for 5-10 seconds then bogs down and dies unless I blip the throttle.
I have watched several youtube videos on proper hydro clutch adjustments, I have done so. The bike is even hard to roll/push when in gear and clutch pulled in.
I checked the fluid, it is dark but not black and is half way full in the M/C. I'm going to get fresh DOT 4 and bleed it to see if that is the issue, I don't think it is, but will do it anyways as an excuse for maintenance, that looks like hasn't been done on this bike. The more I tear into it, the more little issues I am seeing with it. Oh well, I'll just call this the Stupid Tax for learning a new hobby.
Sorry, I'm new to these, learning as I go. Please be patient till I figure this stuff out.
