Hi, first time here.  I have a 99' drifter 1500 I bought used.  The previous owner rebuilt/replaced the clutch, the gasket appears very new.  At first, bike rode like a dream, then clutch began slipping.  I checked the main reservoir and it was very low and extremely dirty,  After cleaning and bleeding, the clutch would function but was extremely touchy.  Would jump into gear, just barely releasing the clutch handle.  Only an experienced rider could deal with it.  I replaced the slave unit with a used one, bled the system and now the bike will not leave neutral.  Clutch pressure seems adequate but will not go into gear.  Any ideas on how to solve?  It's a shaft drive (as most of you will know).

Many thanks in advance.
Tim
