General Weird clutch this morning

[Nuova500]

Got in the Panda this morning and the clutch pedal went all weird on me, basically there was very little travel and it felt like it was hardly doing anything. Was fine yesterday and after using it several times after around 8 or 9 miles it was working fine again and did this afternoon. Its OK now too.
Is there any chance something got frozen overnight as it was -5 overnight?

Could the cable be sticking or the pedal hung up on something?

If the fork pivot siezes you can get symptoms like that. The clutch gets heavy and won't release properly. Sometimes a good dose of WD40 helps.

LOL Jim, she was OK today I reckon the mechanism wants a good lubrication... will have a look in the week. Thing is, I use her all the time so things are bound to act up now and then. Shes still a superb and reliable little beast.
