Clutch sometimes doesn't
Several months ago I pull the lever in, idle was high because it was cold. Off I went! Pumped the lever a couple times and it gets working. Got home and bled the system. Last week was on a 1,000 mile journey, about day 3 a relapse, really didn't want to open the system on the road. So every morning id pump the lever a couple times before I needed it.
im thinking bleed again, if it happens again I'll rebuild the MC.

May need to flush & totally replace the fluid. I bought a 2015 ultra in June. The bike had been in storage since 2019. On my first 400 mile trip, clutch was failing part of the time. When I got it home I replaced fluid & no more issues. Just something to consider.

brake fluid is hydroscopic meaning it absorbs water so its never a bad idea to totally flush the system. What I use is a speedomotive iirc speed flushing canister. It has a check valve in the can and hose that's submerged in fluid so it can't pick up air. Install the hose onto bleeder nipple, Crack open the nipple and start pumping and adding new fluid as it lowers in the reservoir. Takes literally 20 mins tops. I'll post a pic of the can bleeder it can be purchased thru summit racing, eBay Amazon etc
