Re: Hydraulic Clutch Linkage Problem

That's interesting Paige.  I believe this is the first time on this 
list that anyone has said they had a failed throw out bearing.  Though 
your statements all make sense, I have never heard about problems on 
the oil head.  Also, didn't this guy have very low mileage on the bike? 
  I may be mixing up threads on that part.

I also agree on the muffler bearings.  Those things are a pain in the 
butt!
