Just a quick question, clutch on my bike has started to play up in the last 2 days.
On start up put it into 1st and it lunges forward. Noticed the biting point is too close to the handle bars now. Have noticed a air bubble in the fluid.
Could it need bleeding through to get rid of air bubble and anyone else had same problem after weather got colder?

When was the last time, your brakes and clutch were flushed and replaced with new fluid?
This is just routine maintenance...bleed the air out and see if this improves things, it most likely will.
Thanks for that advice, was supposed to have been done in May when it was serviced. Checked fluid and it was dirty. Changed the clutch line for a new one and made a big difference. Cheers again.

a bleed may help, inspect your lever see if its worn where it touches the cylinder plunger? may need a new lever, those adjustable levers are nice cuz you get more bite it seems but yea, a bleed and maybe new fluid to rule all that out first.. on mine the new levers helped a bunch, me too lazy to bleed... your lines not bulging right? seen that too, soon it may burst, I like the braided lines for all that hydraulic related stuff..
