after the bike fell in my shop onto the left side, the clutch would not disengage, bike lay on left for 24 hours, since I had my stroke I had to await help to lift it
there is no physical damage
the clutch was dragging before
I took out the starter, sucked the fluid out from master and slave with an air syphon
renewed the fluid with BLOOD mineral
bled the slave, but the rear wheel does not spin freely with bike in gear on the stand, it does turn but not at all freely
question, does your rear wheel spin freely, in gear with the clutch lever pulled in?
will do another bleed today

This may be a silly question, but do you know if it is acting differently now as compared to before the fall? My 2013 GSA had similar issues since I have owned it. Some of the early water cooled bikes had a shorter clutch push rod and had issues with the clutch not fully disengaging.

Alright, I have a 2016 GS Adventure, Water cooled. I too had my bike fall on it's left side. It wasn't down for that long but I think I errantly grabbed the clutch while it was down and introduced air into the system. If I start it in 1st with the clutch pulled in I can feel the bike wanting to lurch as the engine turns over, I also cannot feel the pressure point in the lever.
Question 1, what is BLOOD mineral?
Question 2, does someone have a thread on bleeding the clutch slave for this mode?
