Guys,
As the title suggests I'm losing fluid from my clutch system. Its not leaking from the banjo bolt on the master cylinder so I'm assuming its from the other end inside the slave cylinder. I will pull the slave cylinder and see what's going on in there. Has anyone else had any issues here ? I'm sure its just a matter of replacing oil seals etc. I just wanted to make sure before I went ahead and ordered the parts. Cheers.

 

Yup Bordo - seal is weeping on the slave

had it happen on two of three bikes so far

Simple seal kit will fix it

if you put your finger at the lowest point of
the sprocket cover you should get the the
fluid residue mixed with chain oil there as the
clutch fluid weeps down the inside of the
sprocket cover

 

Thanks Sprock. I just ordered the kit. Is it a reasonably easy job to replace these parts ? I take it I will have to let all the old fluid out to rebuild the slave ? Sorry if these questions are dumb.....lol. I havent had to rebuild one as yet. Cheers.

 

easy to do Bordo - biggest pain is bleeding the damn line out later

I took the opportunity to do the master at the same time each time
--- gave everything a thorough cleaning of all that orange oxidized fluid

 

Yep sounds like a plan mate. I don't suppose you'd have a How To on it ??? I ordered the master cylinder kit as well so I'll just go all the way, dump the fluid and rebuild the whole system. Its only a very small leak but a leak none the less so I'll sort it very quickly.
