Sorry for the extremely late reply. Just found the thread lol. Have a 98 suzuki intruder vs800 myself. Clutch lever always gave me problems. Would randomly loose pressure and not fully disengage. Something I did to fix it so it would hold more fluid and be significantly more consistent. Take off the top plate for the master cylinder, zip tie the lever all the way back to the bars. Leave it like that, and just top it off periodically. If you have angled bars, try to keep it fully level. Also found for a roadside temp fix should it give out, tilt the bike onto its right side (not all the way to where it falls) and just pump it a lot. Usually gets the job done for me
