leaky clutch

[02BIRD]

my brother has an 02 hayabusa and every 2 or so months his clutch runs out of fluid. There are no visable

signs of a leak

any ideas as to where the oil could be going?

On my TL1000R the slave piston seal was notoriously bad. It leaked down inside the sprocket cover, so any leakage could be misinterpreted as chain lube spooge. In that system, there are only so many places it can leak: master piston seal, banjo fittings, slave piston seal. If nothing's obvious, my money's on the slave piston seal as it's out of sight/out of mind.

Someone told me if you let the pads wear down too much on some bikes, the pistons will actually come out far enough to let some fluid escape. I've never seen it but have no reason to doubt him.

The slave piston seems to be the most popular answer everyine whom iasked said to start there.

if it was the brakes why would the fluid come from the clutch? :icon_think:

Slave cylinder,

My 1987 Magna did this from day one.

Stealers could never find it. 19 years later, I finally ordered a replacement from Ron Ayers for less than $100.00. It took a hour to install and bleed. 12k miles later, still no problems. The only thing I regret is living with the problem for 19 years.

Well i hope for him it is that simple and that cheap because the stealer is out they are a rip off
