Clutch Slave Questions?

[Patmac6075]

Ok, so I've decided to rebuild my clutch system. I've purchased the K&L rebuild kits for both the slave and master cylinders, my first question is, Is the piston for the slave cylinder available? Does anyone know the part number? I was just on Partzilla and their exploded drawing does not show the piston nor does it reference it...I've got to believe Yamaha used this setup in more than just the XVZ's, so it should be available...Next question, when I remove the master...it looks as if there is an electrical connector (obviously for the cruise,starter, kickstand lockout systems), can I remove that at the master itself, or do I need to search the handle bars for the bullet connector? Third and last question, if I'm replacing the old rubber hose with stainless, do I also replace the pigtail hose down by the slave?

Inquiring Minds want to know.

Thank, in advance

At the master cylinder there is a small hole under the switch. If you press up in there with a punch it releases the locking tab and you can pull the switch out and leave connected to the wiring harness.

 

While Yamaha includes the piston with their seal kit, you aren't likely to actually need it.
