Yes, thanks guys. I bled the most of the old clutch fluid out. Clutch feels better. I also bled new fluid into the brakes, what a bitch that is as i've read.
I got brakes but no test ride yet....RAIN feel firmer though.

I also found loose bolts on the loose strut which holds the rear caliper. The chain looks loose but its about 30mm play between sprockets. Seems to wobble around in 1st at idle on center-stand....will get another opinion on that.

Waiting on my 4t oil which arrives monday may 12. Almost bought the mobile 1 silver 20w/50 at walmart today to change it now because i have another concern that i wanted to put to rest.......

Idling on center-stand while testing the rear brake today... there was some light white smoke puffing from the right 2 into 1 exhaust. Have not seen that before. Read up on the white smoke posts here and elsewhere. Opened oil cap and smelled nothing unusual. Fingered the oil, looks light/medium brown. Both exhaust pipes have a even dark shade of grey/graphite color residue inside.
More to wonder about this beast.
