Hi all.

I have an issue when stationary I can't engage neutral and can't change gear. Luckily managed to nurse her home after work. Sometimes the gears were soft, but sometimes almost impossible to change.

A Google search suggests it maybe the clutch slave cylinder. I've taken my bike apart and to the best of my knowledge there doesn't appear to be anything wrong on the surface.

How can I be sure it is the slave cylinder?

Also what are these pipes for? They don't appear to lead to anywhere?!

Oh yeah, it's 2001 RSV Mille.

Remove the clutch slave and visually check if it's leaking from the push rod seal.

Does the pull of the clutch lever feel normal ?

The pipes are just overflow and breather pipes for the tank

Thanks about the pipes.

Yes, pulling the clutch lever feels normal. Will try opening the clutch slave.
