labill Posted November 20, 2019 Share #1 Posted November 20, 2019 Sometime back I developed a leak in my handlebar reservoir. I got help from all of you and replaced the seals, spring, etc. My problem now is I still am losing fluid. With the bike seating, not running I have worked the clutch leave and do not see any fluid leaking. It appears to happen when I shift for a while. I took off the side cover and can see the slave but I don't see any fluid leaking. Can not find any wet areas on the clutch line. I have 50000 miles on it, the last 10000 with a sidecar. Could the slave be leaking inside and I can not see it? Thanks again, labill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafterd Posted November 21, 2019 Share #2 Posted November 21, 2019 Yep, that’s the problem. I rebuilt mine about 3years ago cause it would leak the fluid out, but not show up anywhere. ordered a kit off eBay, bought a small hone at auto zone, just like new when done. Still works correctly today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvmy40 Posted November 21, 2019 Share #3 Posted November 21, 2019 Indeed, the slave cylinder is leaking. I rebuilt mine, but a new one is under $100.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labill Posted November 21, 2019 Author Share #4 Posted November 21, 2019 That's what I was afraid of. Thanks for sharing your experience. labill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BratmanXj Posted November 21, 2019 Share #5 Posted November 21, 2019 Indeed, the slave cylinder is leaking. I rebuilt mine, but a new one is under $100.00. I want to say it only cost me around $65 with a little bit of internet shopping. I think the rebuild kit and hone would have cost me $45 but I'd still be dependent on my own abilities. $20 was worth the "guarantee" it would be replaced with a good working part. About an hour 1/2 to replace and bleed out, one difficult to access bolt but otherwise straight forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
