Ok, I recently changed the primary fluid on the bike. I am not sure if it is related to the problem, but it is the only thing I have done since the following problem:

I have no slipping, or wierd noises, but the clutch levermoves in and out about a quarter of an inch while idleing at a traffic light. You cant see it do it, but if you rest your fingers on the lever you can feel it? Does anyone have a clue what is going on or what I am talking about? Or is my ole Sporty just messing with me since I left her in the garage for so long????

Mine does that, I put it down to rubber mounted engine thrashing about while connected to a non rubber mounted lever by the clutch cable, is yours a rubber mount though?

That seems like a perfectly good explanation to me.

Makes sense, but I have an 03. it is not really a vibration, more like a pulsing. Like if you dont bleed your brakes and you feel the pressure in the brake pedal.......kinda hard to explain. Thanks though.
