Broncoboy36081 Posted September 27, 2014 Share #1 Posted September 27, 2014 It seems to be coming and dripping around the kickstand. Any ideas where to go on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSky Posted September 27, 2014 Share #2 Posted September 27, 2014 By clutch fluid you mean hydraulic fluid? I don't know that much about these bikes yet but I seem to read a lot about the hydraulic slave cylinder leaking. Probably the lower cylinder needs rebuilding.

Seaking Posted September 27, 2014 Share #3 Posted September 27, 2014 It seems to be coming and dripping around the kickstand. Any ideas where to go on this. You would want to determine if it's not coming from the various drain hoses found behind the kickstand. Then this is normal.. "clutch fluid" is DOT4 brake fluid, and if you're sure that this is what you're seeing, then it's possible it's coming out of the bleeder port found low on the left side of the engine between the two jugs. You'll see a small square flat piece of rubber with a raised nub on it that cover the bleeder port (looks just like your brake bleeder ports).. If unsure where it's coming from, give the bike a proper wash and let it dry, take it out for a ride and have a look to see where it might be coming out of. Hopefully nothing more than just the drains dumping diluted oil down and around the kickstand area.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncoboy36081 Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share #4 Posted September 27, 2014 Tried the wash to find. It didn't do it after the wash but now it's back again. It also looks low in the reservoir which was just topped off about 2 months ago. Bleeder valve is good. I can't see where it's coming from. It looks like its behind one of the chrome covers.

bongobobny Posted September 28, 2014 Share #5 Posted September 28, 2014 Yup! Time to replace the clutch slave cylinder... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinfool Posted September 28, 2014 Share #6 Posted September 28, 2014 There is a rebuild kit available for the clutch slave. There also seems to only be about a 50% success rate of rebuilds. There is not a big difference in cost between a new slave and the rebuild kit. Point is you are better off just getting a new slave right off the bat.
