Creaking clutch lever

[norcal_RC51]

My buddy and I changed the brake and clutch fluids the other day. Simple enough. We overfilled the clutch fluid reservoir a little and some might have overflowed, so we reopened and removed down to the max line.

Later, the lever started acting a little funny, it was real creaky upon release. The clutch acted normally. Just the lever. So we pulled it apart and cleaned out with brake cleaner, reassembled. Now it still does it, but much less so. Anything but more brake fluid that we haven't thought of that could cause it? Also rebled the system.

Grease the pivots. Wipe off the excess so as not to attract dirt.

There is also a micro switch that makes some noise too, clean and lube with a proper lubricunt.And use a heavy grease on the pivot, should be good as new.

I guess we just missed some of the stray fluid... Will go back and reclean/regrease today when I install my new CRG brake lever.
