Weird clutch issue
Discussion
I suspect hydraulics but another opinion is always welcome…
Got an issue where if you’re sat with your foot on the clutch in gear waiting to pull away for an extended period of time (greater than 30 seconds) the bite is then really low, and if you release and then immediately re depress the clutch it feels really spongy.
If you only use the clutch briefly, ie for normal gear changing and setting off, it’s fine.
It had a slave cylinder last year but no reason why that might have failed again of course. No obvious fluid loss.

5-series what?Triumph? These really old Triumph 5-series were notorious for their clutch-delay valve. Get rid!
