Update to this one. My mobile mechanic was round changing a tyre and confirmed the slave seal had gone - swapped it out without issue and the fluid level has been fine since and I haven't lost the firmness of the lever, so all good. However, I still get clutch drag, it's still impossible to get into...

Thanks both. I've bought a seal refurb kit now, as I suppose I was lucky that I lost pressure at the clutch pedal at home rather than out and about so it's not worth waiting to happen again. I'll check the slave cylinder piston, thanks for the tip - there are plenty of 2nd hand cylinders on eBay so ...

Ta - both will be useful hopefully. I checked the bike earlier just while it is standing in the garage and the clutch lever had gone completely spongy - checking the fluid level it was way too low. I had an unopened bottle of Dot 4 sitting on a shelf so have put new fluid in and the lever has return...

Thankyou - I did check the chain which feels fine. That's as far as I can manage without a Haynes manual (hopefully arriving today) so will check the other bits and change the fluid out this week hopefully.

Thanks for the replies, to both my posts :) (will upload a pic later this eve) The previous owner fitted a new stainless steel exhaust so no Exup servicing required - seems to be running fine with the new system but then I've got no 'before' to compare with, could probably do with a proper setup I i...

Clutch drag

I have an issue with my new to me Thunderace. It is very hard to find neutral and sometimes, having come to a halt in e.g. 1st gear, the bike seems almost to lock. If I apply a small amount of revs, I can then change up into 2nd and then trial and error doing this a few times usually ends up in neut...

New member saying hello / Email address question

Hi folks, New to the forum, thought I'd say hello. I've just bought a cheap-ish and cheerful-ish 1999 Thunderace a couple of weeks ago. It's had 12 owners so someone here may know it :) I've owned a few bikes since getting my licence a few years ago: Honda Varadero 125, Suzuki Bandit 650, Honda CBR-...
