All was well on a ride today when his clutch lever pull started getting heavier until he just had no real purchase at all. Finally got to the point where the only thing he could do is force it into 2nd and limp home. Is this the typical way a clutch goes south?

After I passed along the fact that the Legend sports a hydraulic clutch my bud opened the manual and found where the DOT 4 goes in, fills her up and Shazaam! is back on the road. Thanks chy and ed (oldroadie) for your input. "Despite all the amputation, you could dance to a rock 'n roll station..."
