Default Little Clutch Problem

Here recently ive noticed that my clutch is lightly grabing when i "pull" in the clutch. Sometimes i can hold in the clutch at a stop and fell the bike start to move a little. Its not insane but i know its not supposed to do that. Its a hydralic clutch so i have no idea what the problem could be. Any suggestions?

since it is a hydraulic clutch setup you need to look at your master cylinder, your slave cylinder, and all hoses/lines and connections.

first, check the service manual.
second, check the fluid level in the resevoir.
third, if the fluid is low find out where it is leaking.
fourth, repair the problem.

good luck!

check the clutch fluid to see if its full and bleed that mother (make sure you check to see what type fluid you need... i just bleed my clutch a while back and it asked for DOT 4 fluid where almost every other clutch ive ever done used DOT 3)... that might help?
