Long story short my slave cylinder was leaking, so i swapped it over for an Oberon and all is well, no leak. However the bleed nipple within the reservoir sheared meaning i cannot bleed the clutch (at this moment in time) should i need to. I'm not the most mechanically minded but am i right in thinking i'm ok riding the bike like this, all will be well unless the new slave leaks, then i'm up the creek? What do i need to order to fix the problem, is it just a new clutch reservoir, and swap the whole thing over? To add to my woes the current reservoir does seem to have a very slow weep as the volume of fluid has gone down, and there is a small drip from around the switch, pure coincidence i presume. Thanks for any help.
Do you mean the 6mm one in the reservoir. If you do then that would not make the clutch slave leak . The 6mm helps rid any air from the system but you can still bleed the conventional way , by loosing the nipple ,squeeze lever , tighten . So if your clutch works now ,it should be fine . Did it shear leaving the thread in the reservoir body ?
Lol, yep. Over did it and it sheared. It is the 6mm one in the reservoir yes, and it's still on there, just showing so the hole is plugged. If I do need to bleed it (from the slave), is there another way to refill it seeing as my 6mm within the master reservoir is sheared?
Nick see how you go with it , I do have a clutch master available . Is there enough of the screw left to get some mole grips locked onto it to remove.
From memory no, I'll have a check in the morning. I may take you up on that master, as hopefully replacing it will cure the weep.
