    Default NO CLUTCH

    Go ready to head out this morning, but I have zero clutch. loose as a goose. Is it a fuse?
    Any help that will point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. (2010 RT-S)

    Do you have fluid in the reservoir?
    I seem to recall some issues with the fluids eating an o-ring in the system; causing everything to need some pretty quick cleaning and adjustments...

    Default Se5 or Sm5..??

    not a fuse usually oil related but your not having any clutch seems strange. What exactly is happening. It may be the shift lever is off if it seems to shift but not go anywhere. Do you have any fault codes..?? Was it fine the last ryde and when was that..??

    There's about 7 pages of "Clutch", in thread titles...
    Here's one that might apply to your situation.
    Good Luck!

    Top it up bleed it out should be good. Look to see what's leaking annual clutch hydraulic fluid changes will extend life of master/slave

    The stuff didn't evaporate...
    Find the cause, or you'll be right back to this very same issue again!

    Default Little checking..!!

    if the resevoir was that low you need to find out why..why you got no warning..and fix the leak... You don't want this happening on the road...

    Leaking hydraulic shaft seals or worn clutch plates will cause low fluid level.
