Took a ride over there last summer. Rained all day, but it was still a blast. After looking at the bridge we road up the mountain through the old logging trails to look at the reservoir it was a great ride!

My general rule of thumb is also 3,000 miles. However I did get a spin on adapter this season. I am extremely impressed with speed in which I can do a change now, and of course not rounding off those oil filter bolts .

Well it's fixed. I also mounted it with correct specs. Took a lengthy test ride and everything checked out OK. After all the money I've spent preparing this bike for the summer (tires, exhaust parts, radiator fixes etc.) I can't afford to be angry or want to sell it, but unfortunately last evening after test riding for a bit my second gear started to jump out a little. I guess that's the icing on the proverbial cake. My bike is a late model 83, one of the dark blues titled as an 84. I was hoping it would be excluded in the issue, but I guess not.

Well after further investigation I found that the top of my slave had actually cracked off. this seems unusual. I must have torqued those screws way too much. Learned my lesson. I ordered a spare slave today. The bolts were completely in tact, but the slave had just stress cracked away from the mounting holes. I will attach a picture tomorrow, it's interesting to see.

Well did a complete over haul of both the slave and master cylinders on my bike. Everything went well after a few hiccups, and I've been riding for three weeks with no issues. Well on the way to school this morning everything went south quickly. Pulling off the freeway I noticed that I had lost all pressure in my clutch. I figured I blew the seal on the slave, but I noticed that no fluid was leaking. After I made it to school with no clutch I did some investigating and saw that the slave completely broke free from the engine. It was no longer mounted. Everything works OK, but the bolts mounting it must have either snapped or backed out? I'm fearing the first of the two. I'm wondering if anyone has had this issue before? If so, how would you guys recommend getting them out? Wasn't easy riding home without it!
