- September 09, 2009, 20:19:03 PMThanks for the tip. An oil changed helped a little... I am thinking of doing one more oil change just to get as much out as possible. Also i think the clutch on my 2000 800 is a cable? guess i haven't looked closer at it. Was thinking of getting a cable oiler and getting that greased up well.

pohlease, a couple of things, try changing the fluid out and bleeding the system real good.http://www.gadgetjq.com/hydraulic_bleed.htm Also, check this out: http://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/reviewpost/showproduct.php/product/464/cat/67

Like the clutch is releasing too abrutly. Any tips? does something need to be replaced?

When it's fully warmed up, not so much...
