Hi all,I'm new to site and new to forums really. I will eventually introduce myself but at the min I need some help and advice.
I have a 88 1127 streetfighter and I have started having some problems with the gears. 1st problem is finding neutral. With the engine running or not I'm finding it hard to find neutral,it jus skip 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 1st,takes a while to find. Also once in neutral if engine running it has jumped into gear and stalled almost falling off the stand!!! 2nd issue is that it's really difficult to come down gears,with 3rd to 2nd and 2nd to 1st being the worst.
Any advice will be appreciated

..., to a bjorked clutch or totally ...

Start with the slavecilinder; I've had more or less the same thing and it turned out the piston was leaking and therefor letting fluid out (but only ever so slightly) and air in.

Before anyone asks; no, I don't know how it did this, but it did.

You'll be losing pressure if there's any leaks at all. The hydraulic clutch on my slabby is pretty iffy too, the slaves seem to leak quite easily. Usually takes a few pumps of the lever if it's been stood a while.

I did notice a very slight leak in the pipe from the reservoir,is it possible that a small spilt in the pipe could draw air in although the reservoir is pretty full?

very unlikely
