Good stuff Kyle/138 I'm good with hydraulics but didn't know the plastic cover popped off. I was looking for screws.
It's an easy fix. I love the hydraulic clutch. I have arthritis in my left hand & it makes it much easier shift. I might sell some of my guitars because of pain., but I won't give up riding. P.S. re:Hauling Bike- The road trip w/ the 550 in the new S-10 PU worked great! I compressed the forks & shocks. I discovered my Brother had an foldable aluminum ramp to load stuff. 3-way tie downs on the front frame /yoke. Another strap on the rear. Didn't budge an inch for 150-miles on the Pa-Turnpike.

I will try to pull it apart tomorrow. On Fri, Feb 24, 2012 at 7:46 PM, Kyle Munz <[email protected]> wrote: The fluid is coming out of the center of the piston? It shouldn't be doing that. I seem to remember it had a divot for the clutch rod to fit in, but it shouldn't be a hole all the way through for fluid to escape. If you have a pinhole there that would explain the slow loss of your clutch, and yeah, the fluid would be going where it shouldn't be. -Kyle On Fri, Feb 24, 2012 at 6:39 PM, Ralf Oehlerich <[email protected]> wrote: It would not even move. Just kept leaking fluid through the center hole. The seals are probably shot. I ordered a rebuild kit. Now, just a few hours later, I have no pressure on the clutch handle at all. Where is the fluid going? Into the engine? No drips on the floor that I can see.

Heating it may help too. -Kyle On Fri, Feb 24, 2012 at 5:17 PM, Ralf Oehlerich <[email protected]> wrote: I cannot find the right one on eBay so I will order the rebuild kit. Not sure how I would get the cylinder out, since it is not moving, but I will figure it out.

They are fairly easy to rebuild and new parts can still be found fairly cheap. -Kyle On Feb 24, 2012 4:54 PM, "Ralf Oehlerich" <[email protected]> wrote: I did have the cap off. I am bleeding it with a manual bleeding pump. I let it sit and now the clutch does not even dis-engage at all. I think the slave cylinder is leaking. When I had the slave cylinder off and pumped the clutch, fluid started coming out the center. I know that should not be. I will get another one on Fleebay.

I can hold the bike in gear with the clutch pulled, but I cannot shift it back into Neutral. I have to turn the bike off to do that. Is there any way to adjust the clutch travel? I flushed the system properly and the clutch grabs as soon as you let it come out just a little.
