Crunching gears. he problem was getting worse. Fist port of call - bleed the clutch. Plenty of air in there and it made the gear changes much smoother.

Then the crunches came back. I ended up having to bleed the clutch every week - each time getting a large bubble of air out of the bleed valve.

Feeling flush, I bought a service kit for each end of the hydraulics.

This was a simple, two hour job.

But it took all day. The picture links explain why - but the result (so far) has been worth it. Clean gear changes. Much more clutch 'feel'.
