Clutch Wont Disengage

[Pat Conlon]

Good puzzle to solve...Not a lot of bikes out there with hydraulic clutches....

Paging Fred...

I recall Aviation Fred had a Honda VFR clutch m/c that looked similar, except his was a silver color.....although...going by my memory is tricky nowadays....

I have the same issue.  I had to change the master cylinder due to leaking fluid at the sight glass.  Tried a cheap, Chinese replacement that made the clutch drag...  Couldn't find an FJ 1100 replacement so went with a '07 GSX-R1000 master (Then GSX-R 600 ft brake master to match).  Still dragging.  I did rebuild the slave cylinder and it is bled properly (with stainless braided lines).  I am replacing the outer clutch cover that I purchased from RPM and will check the basket and hub for grooves as well as check plates for warpage.  Are there any other know issues and/or fixes for the fj1100 clutch?

I installed the 1200 master yesterday, and voila, I now can get into neutral from 1st. Can't imagine what circumstances would lead the PO to install a universal master that didn't have enough pressure to disengage the PP. Probably one of the many poor repairs that led to him unloading the bike. You should have seen how the fuel pump was routed when I got it...

Finally can go on a proper ride! Thanks all for help and suggestions.
