1996 clutch issues

[gunkylump]

Pulled the 96 out of the shed today, it's been there since late October. NO fluids whatsoever in the resevoir. Added Dot 3, bled, added, bled added, no pressure at all in the clutch. No noticeable leaks anywhere.

 

Pulled the side cover, pulled off the "slave cylinder" and had a heck of time to get it to move. Finally freed it up. Pulled it apart, can feel a ridge inside about 10 thou....have it all apart still.

 

Comments? New slave cylinder required? Best place to buy? What a spot to get at! Sure glad my son can wrench, and more importantly...SEE! This getting old crap...and owning two bikes is a wee bit challenging at times.

 

Thanks

Bought a slave cylinder from Pinwall off of e-bay, $15 for an 07 with 15,000 miles on it....and ordered a slave cylinder rebuild kit out of California for $16.....hopefully this solves the issue....the master cylinder is full of Dot 3 to lube the o-rings...and we'll see what happens when the parts get here.
