spongy clutch

[Gemini]

Moved so more ppl see it

Hi guys

already got one opinion on this but wanted to see if everyone elses view is same

ever since I parked blade up for winter, every week to 10days when I go start it uo the clutch is spongy and doesnt fully engage, almost feels like the lever onlynstarts to move clutch halfway thru pulling. 

So I crack the bleed nipple and give have a pump of lever, bleed it and its firm lever again and perfect clutch.

following week the same. 

Now in the summer and ever since ive had it its been fine and I also left it stood during warmer weather for fortnights at a time.

There are no leaks. But I wondered can the cold weather cause this? Another thought is the fluid could need changing but surely I would have had same issue in summer?

Thoughts?

Thanks

Have you had the slave cylinder off and made sure the piston seal isnt leaking? I know you say it doesnt have any leaks but if the slave is leaking slightly theres sometimes no trace of a leak unless you take it off and look properly

have you tried to put a new clutch in it lol

Changed fluid and all seems well

Remove the slave and pump piston out a bit like you would do on a caliper , good clean , light silicone grease and push back in - should make it feel slippery smooth again.

Blade related, mate bought one a few months ago, first of the fuel injected ones - nice nice bike, kept winding me up about vanishing at every opportunity, day before his first go on it, he's up a ladder cleaning his upstairs windows and decides to fall off, fooking his wrist and shoulder

I had to wait many weeks to visit him as I kept pissing myself thinking about it, still do.
He is okay and on the mend, but has refused point blank to let me keep his bike safely stored and warm
