Does anyone else have a Streamline Billetanium Hydraulic clutch setup on any of their bikes?
I have had mine a little over a year and have experienced 2 issues that I cannot seem to resolve.
1) It wont fully disengage the clutch - I don't know if I am not getting it fully blead out or not. I have spent hrs trying to get any air our with no success. In genral this thing is a pain to bleed compared to brakes. It seems to operate fine and with less resistance, except that the slave cylinder will not fully travel, fully compress and completely disengage my clutch. The lever bottoms out before the slave cylinder fully compresses.
2) Leaking at the master cylinder - sometime late last winter it developed a leak at my master cylinder and emptied the reservoir. I cannot tell if it leaked at the banjo bolt connection or at the lid to the master cylinder, or possibly both. The bike was sitting for some time in my heated garage and had not been rode for several months so it seems hard to unstand why this would occur just sitting there with only moderate temperature changes where it was parked. I could not find any sign of losing fluid at the slave cylinder or lower banjo bolt. Several times over the winter I sat on the bike and worked the levers and controls and everything was fine until one day there was no resistance and I found the reservoir empty...
I only had the unit on the bike for about 6- 7 hrs of ride time before I took it back off due to these issues, i'd prefer to run it if I can get the bugs worked out...
My last call to Streamline sometime last spring didn't provide much for insight or help.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
