    I did a full engine reinstall on my 02 vt1100c. I got the bike to start, run, run well, it's got all it needs. I went to take it for its first ride. Instant stall.

    Hey all, here's the situation, I'm rehabbing a 2001 VT1100C2 that sat for 4 or so years. I haven't worked on a bike in over 20 years and have never owned or worked on any shaft driven bikes, like this one. I have service manual but I feel like i'm missing something. Problem: shifting gears...

    My clutch is acting like it’s constantly engaged almost and the drive shaft gear turns when you shift when I remove the back tire but when the tire is back on and adding that pressure it won’t drive so I’m thinking it might be the master cylinder??

    So I just recently purchased a 1994 vt1100 and was not very familiar with the fact it is supposed to be a hydraulic clutch.
