Help in Shrewsbury area?

[Redthunder]

Am currently on storm just west of Shrewsbury...
Clutch slave has blown fluid.

Anyone local with a bleeding kit, 8mm spanner etc please???!!!

[lloydie]

10 mm spanner for clutch . Sorry not local

Call the AA

Do you mean that it's leaked while in normal use, or you took it off and the piston has moved out letting air in?

You don't need a bleeding tool, just do it the ordinary way and simply keep going, It will bleed through in the end, sometimes takes half an hour but just keep going.

Once it's started working again tie the lever back to the bar overnight and the rest of the bubbles dissipate all by themselves.

Have managed to ride it home from Shrewsbury to just north of Derby with absolutely zero clutch. Took plenty of planning ahead.

Can someone please examine their casting underneath the clutch slave and tell me if there is a small hole...mine has one and definitely lost fluid from there. ...

[tony.mon]

No there's no hole. Any fluid would just drain from the seal into the srocket cover and drip down onto teh road over the sidestand.
Just the three bolt holes.

Got spares if you need one.

[Redthunder]

Looks like a casting hole. My vfr doesn't have one!

[darkember]

That hole is a drain hole in case water gets in there.

[tony.mon]

What I meant was that there isn't a hole in the piston housing.
If you have fluid coming out of the drain the slave seal has gone.
usually easier to fit a 2nd hand slave than rebuild- and cheaper.

Have rebuilt slave although seal looked fine. Bled and tie wrap overnight..
