Not sure what you actually did. But there is a spring in the master cyl to make it return to extended position.
The piston can stick it there is corrosion in the master cyl.

mine was a little sluggish too, cleaning and greasing the pivot bolt for the clutch lever did the trick. _________________ '02 - GL1800

This gives some where to start from when putting on the pipes there mite be a bit of the old hoses missed so to start a full clean out of the pipes.
But I will keep watching this thanks for the help so far
